MediCop

Had a great session with the recruits at Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. Look, if your department expects state minimum academy training to prepare officers for the injuries they may encounter in the field, think again! Get your officers MediCop trained!

SCSO working the drills!

MediCop training with SCSO recruits. FMF Corpsman(Ret) Brown putting them thru a skills check.

Two great sessions with Memphis/Shelby Co School Security and Shelby Co Sheriff's Dept. MediCop is the most in-depth, practical medical training program for law enforcement officers out there! Book us for your training!

This is why MediCop is so important. This is why we don't cut corners. It's not training you'll necessarily use daily, but when you need it, you better be ready. Good job to the officer who was prepared and potentially saved this officers life!

On Saturday, July 9, 2022, at approximately 1:45 p.m, MPD officers received a call concerning a stolen car. The person responsible for the theft was identified as 34-year-old Giorgio Minnis and is the nephew of the owner of the car.

Officers also received a call regarding the suspect being at the Hickory Hill Square location, where he had fired a shot and was making threats to do harm to those inside the residence.

Officers arrived on the scene in the 5900 block of Hickory Hill Square and attempted to take Minnis into custody when he retrieved a handgun from his waistband and shot one of the officers.

The injured officer was transported to Regional One Hospital in critical condition. He was later upgraded to a critical but stable condition.
