She received her tactical medical training at the International School of Tactical Medicine. Jenn was voted and honored as Operator of the Year in 2009 by the members of the Chelan County Regional SWAT Team. In 2016 she was awarded a scholarship to the National Tactical Officer’s Association Conference, one of 15 in the nation.Jenn is the owner and Lead Instructor of Combat First Aid which was created in 2010 after a local law enforcement agency asked her to develop and teach a curriculum to patrol officers on how to administer self-care and partner care if critically injured. Having already developed and taught a similar curriculum to her SWAT team members, Jenn was eager to take on the challenge. Drawing on the principles from the military’s Tactical Combat Casualty Care protocols Jenn was able to create efficient, effective, usable and teachable field care concepts. As a result, Combat First Aid was born.Jenn teaches law enforcement officers how to administer lifesaving treatment to themselves, a fellow officer or a citizen who has sustained a life threatening injury. The three preventable causes of combat death as well as the treatment for each are covered extensively throughout the course. Jenn has taken the TCCC curriculum, which is evidence based medicine and specific to the military, and has adapted the training so it is relevant to the officer/SWAT/UC operator and non-medical first responders. The concept of COMBAT FIRST and then AID is reinforced throughout the course of instruction.Jenn has had the honor of instructing and consulting: Government Agencies, Safety Officers, Private Security, Corporate Security, Health Care Professionals, Administrators First Responders, Volunteers Organizations, Search and Rescue, Rescue Task Force, Emergency Managers, Fire Fighters, Law Enforcement Agencies, Health Care Facilities, Teachers, Professors, Colleges, Churches and Private Corporations.Combat First Aid has gained popularity over the last several years, mostly by word of mouth. Jenn and her medical and law enforcement instructors have trained over 7,500 Officers and First Responders from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California and Canada. To date we have confirmed that graduates of Combat First Aid have used the training that they received in the class to save lives in the field. These have included both civilian and suspect casualties with injuries ranging from severe accidental extremity wounds to officer delivered rifle fire and penetrating trauma.

The Bleeding Control (BCON) Course is pertinent 
to anyone that could find themselves potentially responding to 
or involved in an accident.

The Bleeding Control (BCON) Course is pertinent 
to anyone that could find themselves potentially responding to 
or involved in an accident or traumatic incident, also known as 
an IMMEDIATE RESPONDER. YOU ARE THE HELP, UNTIL 
HELP ARRIVES! Transition time from an accident or traumatic 
incident until 911 can respond, can be critical and lifesaving 
treatment needs to be administered. This gap in time is often the 
deciding factor whether an injured person lives or dies. Proper 
Bleeding Control care can be administered by YOU, the Civilian 
Immediate Responder and will save lives and offers a mitigation 
strategy to a problem that has historically been unaddressed. 
Most importantly it allows the Civilian Immediate Responder 
to be an asset and not a liability while a victim of an accident or 
traumatic incident would have otherwise lay, helplessly bleeding out.
The BCON course teaches the Civilian Immediate Responder to 
administer lifesaving treatment to themselves or a fellow citizen that 
has sustained a life-threatening injury. The course covers the three
preventable causes of combat death and the treatment for all three. 
The training provided by Combat First Aid-Foreman Consulting is 
developed from Tactical Combat Causality Care (TCCC) – military 
medical curriculum. This Course has been adapted using evidence-?based medicine and treatment and is relevant to non-medical Civilian 
Immediate Responders. We know this topic can be in intimidating 
and we pray you never have to use it! Our instructors use a training 
method that is easy to follow and retain. The learning environment is 
fun and interactive. The skills you will learn in the BCON course will 
serve you well in an accident or traumatic incident but will also serve 
you and your loved ones well in all areas of life as you travel, recreate, 
work around your home and enjoy life knowing you are prepared!
