You’ll find similar stories in our archives, such as the Ore. officer who [applied a tourniquet to herself]( after being shot multiple times and the shot LEO who [tied a tourniquet around his leg]( and then went back to the scene of the dispute. May is National Stop the Bleed month and is a great reminder why every officer should carry a tourniquet both on- and off-duty. In today’s newsletter we provide a roundup of the [tourniquets recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care]( and Dr. Alex Eastman of the Dallas Police Department discusses how carrying a tourniquet “could be the difference between [you going home and us playing Taps at your funeral]( While many of the in-person bleeding control classes and public awareness events have been canceled due to the [COVID-19 pandemic]( PDs can still educate the public about the importance of hemorrhage control through social media outreach. We will share resources this month to assist you in that mission.
