You will not provide medical care for them in the field, but should they arrive at the hospital, you must treat them. You do not have to speak with them.

• We request that for repeat calls, units first bring the repeat patients to the hospital, if injuries are deemed significant enough, and treat them there in a recovery room like lower Pillbox triage. Hospital staff does NOT have to be active for this to happen.

Org Stand Down Protocol

• If a unit of any rank feels disrespected by an org or org members, they may request an org standdown. Bodycam footage showing the incident with audio is required as evidence. These situations will be investigated and handled by the command team who will implement a standdown or other consequences as needed.
