The Protectors Foundation recently journeyed to Thomson, Georgia, with a supply of tourniquets for the Thomson Police Department. This initiative highlights a broader issue facing law enforcement agencies across the nation: the struggle with underfunding and insufficient staffing. The reality for many officers is stark—they might be issued essential life-saving equipment such as tourniquets, but often just one. Should they need to use it in an emergency, the responsibility of replacement falls on them. Given the modest earnings of many officers, significantly less than $20 an hour in numerous cases, the financial burden of purchasing new equipment can be significant.
