Although, the training program has been around for several years, it’s still not common knowledge that it’s available. Don’t you belong to a group or organization that might be interested in Stop The Bleed training or hosting a class? Maybe you can talk about it, why you think it’s important and get a few others interested. You’d probably find a few people here that would take it with you. When I took my first blood loss control class it was at an indoor range with TacMedic. But subsequent to that there wasn’t anyone else around Tulsa offering the class or it was held only for medical professionals. And I couldn’t take the course and then teach it myself because I’m not a medically licenses professional. It was a catch-22. I contacted Broken Arrow FD because they hold public CPR/AED classes for the public. They had one of their paramedics take the class, get certified to teach it and held a few classes. Now I’ve seen it offered by the health department and several other organizations. I can’t remember where I was recently, but I noticed they had blood control kits in their emergency CPR/AED boxes mounted on the walls in their facility. That’s something that I talked to a local SWAT team Commander about years ago when I had just taken TacMedic’s class. Be the squeaky wheel.</blockquote>
