Rescue Task Force (RTF)

A Rescue Task Force (RTF) is a specialized group typically composed of police and emergency medical responders trained to work together during active threat situations, such as mass shootings or terrorist attacks. Their primary goal is to quickly enter a scene, neutralize threats, and provide immediate care to injured individuals. By combining law enforcement's protective capabilities and medical expertise, RTFs aim to save lives while ensuring the safety of both victims and responders. This coordinated approach enhances the effectiveness of emergency response in high-risk environments, allowing for faster access to care for those in need.
