Victims often die from survivable injuries caused by excessive bleeding. "Your ability to stop a life-threatening bleeding injury can be the difference in saving someone's life," says Sheriff Gregory Tony.
In this video, BSO Instructors Lieutenant Miguel Garcia and Deputy Kasha Darnell demonstrate how to use a tourniquet and pack a wound to prevent severe bleeding using tools that are found in bleeding control kits located in critical areas across Broward County.
In honor of National Stop the Bleed Day, we encourage you to equip yourself with life-saving techniques that may someday save a life.
