Spirit of Blue Gear Helps Save Kentucky State Police Trooper

By Tactical Life

A Kentucky State Police Trooper, shot while serving a warrant, received emergency medical treatment on the scene. The gear used, a North American Rescue Combat Application Tourniquet, saved his life. The trooper, Brad Martin, survived the attack and is lucky to be alive. The KSP Troopers had only recently received the lifesaving gear via the Spirit of Blue Foundation grant. Martin becomes the first verified saved law enforcement officer through the program.

“On June 11, 2019 I was participating in a warrant service when I was shot in the left thigh. By the grace of God, I am still here today,” shared Trooper Martin. “The prompt application of the tourniquet and quick action by my fellow brothers played a major part in limiting the extent of my injury and my ability to recover.”

Troopers carry the Combat Application Tourniquet in a RIGID Tourniquet Case. Spirit of Blue provided the gear via a grant made possible by Law Enforcement United, a sustaining sponsor.
