The focus of an organization within the non-profit education sector is to improve the safety and enhance the effectiveness of schools.

Tactical Emergency Medical Support is an out-of-hospital EMS system that focuses on medical support for law enforcement special operations missions.

The first answer I gave was: Because I like attend traumas and this is the first one I get. Also, because
