F.A.S.T. MCI/ACTIVE SHOOTER KIT

Mass casualty shootings: 4 or more victims not including the shooter.  

We define a mass casualty anything that overwhelms the resources on hand. How many people do you think a single officer can treat? 1? NONE? Believe me, they will be the first paid responder on scene. 

We studied all the after action reports on every “hostile mci/active shooter” event starting with Columbine school shooting in 2000 and forward. One consistent glaring problem that comes up time after time is the inability to “STOP THE DYING” which is a core mission statement of the FBI based ALERRT course for law enforcement. We know, we teach it.  

Did you know that DHS, DOD, FEMA, The American College of Surgeons all endorse and recommend a comprehensive trauma station in most commercial buildings? If you are lucky, an officer is carrying a single tourniquet and maybe a set of chest seals. That might get you 1 to 3 people partially treated. Might… 

We have spent years teaching law enforcement the specifics of “STOP THE DYING” and started equipping them with our F.A.S.T. Law Enforcement Kits. While this gives them the ability to help a couple of people if they are carrying it, it still leaves us short for bigger emergencies. 

Our F.A.S.T. MCI/ACTIVE SHOOTER KITS feature our proprietary shoulder bags with a carry handle added. They are clamshell in design and hold 10 tourniquet/bleed bags and 2 chest seal bundles. All the internals are duplicates and are clear faced to see what you are grabbing. This is the ultimate in preparedness. Streamlining care packs and enough to treat upwards of 30 people. In massive trauma, you don’t have the time to wait for EMS. We can’t expect every officer to have one of these in their unit but we can set them up for success by giving them the gear to treat the people you care about. Stop hoping to be saved and start preparing for it instead.
