3. Who provides your medical leadership?

Our team includes emergency physicians — such as Dr. Marc Cohen, Dr. Angelica Loza‑Gomez, Dr. Clayton Kazan, and Dr. Tiffany Abramson — who serve as medical directors for major fire departments, police agencies, and public safety communications centers in Southern California. They blend hospital-level clinical expertise with practical knowledge of law enforcement operations.

4. When should we utilize pre‑booking clearance services?

When an individual’s medical condition is uncertain, clearance exams help determine arrestee fitness to book, reducing unnecessary transports, legal risk, and resource use. Exams can be conducted on-site or via Telehealth, with immediate physician consult and legal defensibility.

5. How does the forensic blood draw program work?

Police Physicians provides licensed medical personnel on-call 24/7 to perform blood draws under implied consent or warrant, ensuring medically safe techniques and strict chain-of-custody documentation. Services may be mobile or based at custody facilities, and include optional court testimony support.

6. What support do you offer for naloxone (Narcan) programs?

Our oversight for Narcan programs includes protocol development, approval, officer training, case reviews, real-time EMS physician access, and guidance on inventory, data collection, and regulatory compliance. Programs are tailored to fit operational workflows and evolving standards.

7. Do you assist with AED programs?

Yes. We help agencies establish and maintain AED programs by developing protocols, training officers, reviewing AED incidents, ensuring equipment readiness, and maintaining regulatory compliance informed by public safety needs.

8. How do you support Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD)?

We provide physician-level medical direction for EMD, including protocol review/adoption (APCO, PowerPhone, Priority Dispatch), dispatcher training, call evaluation, and quality improvement programs, to ensure safe and compliant pre-arrival medical guidance at PSAPs managed by law enforcement.

9. What happens when an officer is exposed to infectious disease on duty?
