A School Resource Officer is often the only armed responder on site in the critical minutes before backup and EMS arrive. A standard patrol kit is built around the officer's own self-aid — it doesn't extend to buddy-aid, civilian care, or moving a casualty out of an exposed hallway.
What lets a lone SRO both treat and move a casualty before help arrives?
The SRO Individual Response Kit consolidates penetrating-trauma treatment and casualty extraction into one compact, duty-carry package. The hemorrhage-control core is a CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T® tourniquet, two packs of NAR Compressed Gauze for wound packing, and a 6″ Emergency Trauma Dressing for pressure bandaging. Penetrating chest wounds are covered by the HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack — two vented seals to manage a hemopneumothorax. What sets the kit apart is the NAR Hasty Harness: a 22-foot sling of 1″ Tech Tape that configures for drag, assisted carry, hoist, and lower — so a single officer can move a downed student or staff member to safety without waiting for additional personnel. This reflects current Active Shooter / Hostile Event Response doctrine: rapid bleeding control, then immediate relocation to relative safety. The harness and chest seal are provider-aware items — see the scope note.
