7. Casualty Collection Point

This video explains what Casualty Collection Points (CCPs) are and how they function in Active Shooter Incident Management. It covers how law enforcement contact teams establish the first CCP in the warm zone, secure it, and then hand off medical control to arriving Rescue Task Forces while retaining scene security. The instructor walks through the critical tasks at a CCP: rapid triage, wound packing, tourniquets, airway management, and deciding transport priorities so the most critical patients get to trauma centers first. The video also highlights when and why you might have multiple CCPs, how to name and communicate them (e.g., CCP Gym, CCP Cafeteria), and how CCPs become the hub for both initial patient care and ambulance transport downrange.
