GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Law enforcement across the country continue to mourn the loss of two Minnesota police officers and a paramedic after they were shot and killed while responding to a domestic situation.
The paramedic was assigned to a SWAT team that responded to the incident. In West Michigan, Life EMS has a similar team that serves as a critical resource for police.
The Special Response Team is the first line of care for law enforcement during high-risk situations. When police in West Michigan enter harm’s way, they’ve got trained medics right by their side who are ready to help in a worst-case scenario.
