The police department will be holding a Stop the Bleed campaign meeting 10 a.m.-noon Sept. 28 at borough hall.
The Stop the Bleed campaign was created in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, which highlighted the need for the public to learn how to control bleeding before professional help arrives. The average time for someone to bleed out is two to five minutes, while the average emergency medical services response time is seven to 10 minutes.
The Stop the Bleed campaign teaches people how to apply pressure to wounds, pack wounds with gauze and use tourniquets to stop bleeding. The person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one who is mostly likely to save him or her from bleeding to death.
Take the Stop the Bleed training course and become empowered to make a life-or-death difference when a bleeding emergency happens.
For more information or to register, call Cpl. Santiago at the police department at 610-264-1504 or you may review a flier on the North Catasauqua Police Department Facebook page for specific information.
