First Responder EMS deploys personnel to support Butte County Sheriff SWAT missions. The mission is to provide advanced life support care to the members of the SWAT Team during tactical operations. All medical personnel are sworn sheriff deputies and go through rigorous training with the SWAT team.
  
During tactical operations, the Paramedic assigned to the SWAT will treat and extricate the injured out of the "red zone" to an awaiting advanced life support ambulance or air ambulance, who transports the patient to the hospital.
