HUDSPETH- Sergeant Couch and Lieutenant Carter attended Dell City ISD to provide Stop the Bleed training to staff members.
Staff members received hands on training on how to utilize a tourniquet, apply direct pressure and performed wound packing to artificial limbs.
The goal of this training is to empower people to render aid for critical bleeding and educate community members that they have the ability to save a life.
“Minutes count! Someone who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as 5 minutes. That’s why bleeding control—keeping the blood inside the body—is the purpose of STOP THE BLEED® training.” (www.stopthebleed.org/learn-more/)
