Over 165 officers a year were killed in the line duty across the United States in 2024. Here in Louisiana (Shreveport/Bossier to be specific) we have suffered the loss of several Officers since 2015. 5 more officers have been shot and were fortunate enough to live to keep protecting our communities. Added, with the increasing needs for emergency management-private sector and churches alike, we have responded to those in need of planning for emergency events.
Our Mission
Our mission is to train and equip law enforcement officers, military, and civilians alike with life saving equipment and emergency planning that saves officers, military and civilian lives.
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,”“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here I am. SEND ME.” -Isaiah 6:8
“The trauma kit class was invaluable for me. It taught me how to use the combat gauze which I had to use on a stab victim a short time after the class. Without this class I would have had to look at my victim helplessly as he bled out. Not only did I have the trauma kit to use on my victim, I also had the proper training to use it effectively. I am forever grateful for this class and the training I received.”
“Amazing group of people. This is so needed for first responders and is saving lives! Thanks for all the hard work!”
-Clint Davis

“A big THANK YOU to F.I.R.S.T Chance for spending time with the commercial property managers and maintenance staff at Vintage Realty Company. The training provided by your team was exceptional and it made us feel that we could use the tools provided to save a life and stop massive hemorrahaging in the case of an emergency. The presentation and hands-on training was easy to understand for a "civilian" and we believe would be of benefit to everyone in our community. Thanks for all you do to help save lives!”
- Sarona M. Snyder, Director of Commercial Property Management; General Manager-Healthcare
“Great class, insightful instructor and awesome product.”
“Great training that all LEO needs. In our current society, why take the chance and not have this information and equipment?”
