Two new topics begin on September 1 in APCO’s Illuminations CDE Program. The EMD Track on Telematics and EMD takes a deeper look at the information that vehicle telematics systems can provide to the EMD and what the information translates to regarding the mechanism of injury, probability of trauma, the need for extrication, life flights or surgeons on standby. The General Track session on Homelessness focuses on the homeless population, their living conditions and common problems experienced in this environment.
