First In Tactics is hosting an OEMS Psychomotor Exam on Sunday, May 4th, at 9 a.m. at the Dayville Fire Company.
We know those proctored skill stations can feel like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle. So, to help you out, we’re offering a four-hour refresher on Tuesday, April 29th, at 5 p.m. This refresher will cover the testing process and focus on what you need to pass—because, seriously, who wants to retake this exam?

De-escalation Techniques For First Responders
Stay Calm, Defuse the Storm: De-escalation Saves Lives!
Empower yourself with essential skills in our comprehensive De-escalation Techniques Training, specifically designed for first responders. In high-pressure situations, the ability to remain calm, communicate effectively, and de-escalate potential threats is crucial to ensuring safety for both the public and yourself. This in-depth training will teach you practical, evidence-based strategies for managing conflict, diffusing tension, and fostering cooperation without resorting to force. Through interactive scenarios, role-playing exercises, and expert-led discussions, you'll learn how to recognize warning signs, use verbal and non-verbal communication effectively, and navigate emotionally charged situations with confidence. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the skills to protect lives, build community trust, and make smarter, safer decisions under stress.
Dr. Keven McNeill is a former police officer and crisis intervention team member with 19 years of experience. In addition, he has over 26 years of experience as a first responder and has successfully de-escalated countless hostile subjects.
