HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Pensacola Police Department (PPD) will be submitting a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Assistance, under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Formula (Local Solicitation) to purchase 185 tactical trauma bags to keep in police vehicles to use at emergency scenes.
The tactical trauma bags (Vel-Tye ARTAC Bag) are not intended to replace the skills/medical care provided by EMTs/paramedics. They are designed to allow officers to provide basic first aid (beyond Band Aids) to trauma or seriously injured people.
Contents for the Vel-Tye ARTAC Bags include two SWAT-T tourniquets, one HYFIN-vented chest seal, three Z-folded krinkle gauze, three 6-inch Ace bandages, one survival wrap blanket, one roll of medical duct tape, one set of trauma shears, and one box of nitrile disposable gloves. Additional supplies will be purchased to replenish items that are used. The initial cost of the bags and supplies will be $28.527.00, plus the remaining $1,251.00 to purchase replacement supplies.
From serious chest wounds to hypothermia, the contents of Vel-Tye ARTAC Bags could easily save someone’s life until advanced medical care arrives on-scene or they are transferred to a hospital.
The JAG Program blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEGB) Programs (under Title XI-Department of Justice Reauthorization) to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are most needed. The JAG Program provides states, tribes, and local governments funding to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based upon local needs and conditions. Matching funds are not required under the JAG Program.
Among the grant requirements are that the Pensacola Police Department notify City Council of its intended use of the grant and to allow the citizens an opportunity to comment prior to the application submission.
