This grant, if awarded, will provide funds to purchase and provide for use, ballistic shields as <br />protection to officers and civilians in the case of an active shooter scenario and blood clotting gauze packs for use <br />in the case of a gunshot wound or other bleeding injury to slow/stop blood flow until medical personnel arrive on <br />scene. Shields and blood clotting packs will be assigned to Sergeants in Patrol, Courthouse, and School Resource. <br />The purchase will increase officer and civilian safety in the case of an active shooter or barricaded subject event <br />and allow for immediate emergency treatment in the case of a shooting victim. The purpose of the grant funding <br />is in line with solicitation preference topics and ultimately serves to improve services to all of Indian River <br />County. <br />The total dollars earmarked for Indian River County through this funding opportunity are $20,168.
