The potential time it could take for Advanced Life Support systems to arrive (EMS) could be too extensive to wait to stop the major hemorrhaging that would potentially occur from gunshot and/or puncture wounds. Providing officers with a "Trauma Kit" to stop the bleeding will help ensure their safety and wellness in the event that they should become injured. The Winter Springs Police Department has discovered a need for a "Side by Side Utility" type vehicle. Presently the department has cars, trucks and ATV's (four wheelers), but currently does not possess a piece of equipment that fills the void between street driven vehicles and all terrain vehicles. During planned events such as city sponsored public gatherings it is impractical to utilize a police cruiser to rehabilitate officers on security posts in some areas. The need for water and food rehab is hindered by the fact that vehicles cannot maneuver within the parameters of the event. The police department has also identified that the ATV (four wheelers) are not conducive for use as rescue vehicles in rural areas as they do not accommodate the transport of injured persons. The utility vehicle would enable the responding officers to support incapacitated victims as well as alert and mobile injured persons. Project Summary (Scope of Work) The "Trauma Kit" will be issued to every sworn officer of the Winter Springs Police Department Operations Bureau (Patrol, Motors, School Resource, K -9 Unit). The "Trauma Kits" will be primarily used for immediate life saving capabilities for self aid, and could additionally be beneficial in saving lives of the citizens within our community. The "Utility Vehicle" will be utilized as a rehabilitation center during planned and unplanned events. During planned events the Utility Vehicle will be stocked with necessities to deliver rehabilitation supplies (water and snacks) to officers at fixed posts while working within large scale events. The "Utility Vehicle" will increase the capability of the Winter Springs Police Department in locating and returning lost and/or endangered persons. It will provide a sound means of transportation for persons in these categories from remote and rural areas to safety and necessary assistance.
