Missouri Legislation Requires STOP THE BLEED® Kits in Schools and Annual STOP THE BLEED® Training

KY3 News | December 29, 2025

Missouri’s new Stop the Bleed Act, signed into law in July 2025, will require all public schools to place bleeding control kits in high-traffic areas like gyms, cafeterias, and auditoriums and designate at least one staff member per school to receive annual Stop the Bleed training when it takes effect in 2026. The law aims to empower school personnel to provide immediate life-saving interventions, like applying tourniquets and packing wounds, before first responders arrive — especially in rural areas with longer EMS response times. Additionally, staff who use the kits in good faith are protected from civil liability, helping reduce hesitation to act in emergencies.

STOP THE BLEED® Spotlight – Trilogy Redmond Ridge Community Training

Washington | January 2026

We’re excited to spotlight the incredible work being done to promote STOP THE BLEED® education and preparedness.

A few words from lead STOP THE BLEED® Instructor Polly Roush:

“I’m proud to serve as a member of the Emergency Preparedness Committee at Trilogy at Redmond Ridge in Redmond, WA. As the lead instructor for our community’s Stop the Bleed® program, I have the privilege of working alongside 20 volunteer instructors who share a commitment to improving our neighborhood’s readiness and resilience.

To date, we’ve trained over 370 residents through free classes offered at our community clubhouse. These classes are made possible with the support of the Trilogy Board, which provided the required equipment necessary to conduct the training. The Stop the Bleed® program, a national initiative developed by the U.S. Department of Defense and the American College of Surgeons, empowers individuals to provide immediate, life-saving care for severe bleeding until professional help arrives.

This initiative demonstrates how collaboration, education, and community engagement can strengthen safety for everyone. I’m incredibly proud of our neighbors for their willingness to learn and prepare, and of our volunteers and community leadership for making this program possible.

If your community doesn’t yet have a Stop the Bleed® program, I encourage you to explore starting one. It’s a simple, practical way to make a real difference when seconds count.”

-Stop The Bleed Coalition

The STOP THE BLEED® community continues to grow—fast. With more instructors and organizations delivering lifesaving training in schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods around the country, the Coalition has been focused on building the tools, resources, and support systems that make teaching easier and more effective.

Today, we’re excited to announce several important updates designed specifically for our licensed STOP THE BLEED® instructors and the organizations that help bring this training to their communities.

A Streamlined Instructor Licensing Experience

One of the biggest changes this year is the modernization of the instructor licensing program.

Instructor applications are now fully integrated into the STOP THE BLEED® Training Management System (TMS).
This upgrade does three big things:

• Creates a one-stop home for all instructor information and credentials
  
• Streamlines the application and renewal process
  
• Makes profile editing and updates significantly easier, allowing instructors to manage their information at any time, from any device
  

This shift is a direct response to instructor feedback and part of our broader effort to raise standards, improve efficiency, and ensure that every licensed instructor has the support they need to succeed.

Our First On-Demand Webinar in Spanish — Free and Available Now

As part of our commitment to expanding access, we’ve released our first on-demand STOP THE BLEED® webinar in Spanish.

This new free resource:

• Supports Spanish-speaking instructors and learners
  
• Expands our growing library of Spanish-language materials
  
• Helps ensure that language is never a barrier to learning how to save a life
  

More Spanish-language resources are already in development, and we look forward to releasing them throughout the year.

A Growing Ambassador Community — Now More Than 4,500 Strong

The STOP THE BLEED® Ambassador Program continues to gain momentum. What started as a small group of passionate advocates has now grown into a community of more than 4,500 Ambassadors nationwide.

Ambassadors play an essential role by:

• Raising awareness in their communities
  
• Sharing training opportunities
  
• Promoting preparedness through social media and local engagement
  
• Helping bring STOP THE BLEED® to new organizations, schools, and workplaces
  

Their enthusiasm and grassroots energy amplify the work of instructors and help drive the movement forward.

More To Come

These updates are part of a larger effort to strengthen the foundation of the STOP THE BLEED® program and support everyone who teaches, shares, or champions this life-saving training. Over the coming months, we’ll continue releasing new tools, resources, and platform enhancements—all designed to help instructors and organizations deliver training more efficiently, reach more people, and create more resilient communities.

If you’re a licensed instructor or organization partner, keep an eye on your inbox for additional updates.

 If you’re new to STOP THE BLEED®, now is a great time to get involved.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more prepared nation—one class, one instructor, and one Ambassador at a time.

Justin Gardiner’s Spotlight:

Veteran Justin Gardiner enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2006. He served as an infantryman with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. While on deployment to Afghanistan, Gardiner was wounded in action. He earned the Combat Infantryman Badge and Purple Heart Medal for his service and sacrifice.

“I joined the Army in 2006 as an Infantryman and was assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade. I deployed with the “Sky Soldiers” to Afghanistan where I was subsequently wounded in action, receiving the Combat Infantryman Badge and Purple Heart Medal. This is what inspired me to get involved with the Stop the Bleed campaign. Having witnessed firsthand the importance of recognizing and stopping life threatening bleeding and the benefits of tactical casualty care, I knew it was important to help spread that awareness and teach others the same techniques and life saving measures I learned while serving.”

Gardiner was inspired to join the Stop the Bleed® program after his experiences in combat underscored the critical importance of recognizing and stopping life-threatening bleeding. His firsthand exposure to tactical casualty care motivated him to share those lifesaving skills with civilians. Gardiner is now committed to teaching the same techniques he learned in the military to help others be prepared in emergencies.

Gardiner has taught Stop the Bleed®, Active Violence Response, and Officer Safety Courses for the California Association of Code Enforcement Officers (CACEO) for several years. He was also the recipient of the first-ever Instructor of the Year Award from CACEO.

Gilbert Agaran’s Spotlight:

Veteran Gilbert Agaran served as a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman. He separated from active duty in January of 2002 and is now a licensed Stop the Bleed® Coalition instructor. During is military experience, he acted in high-pressure environments where immediate medical response was critical.

“During my time as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, I served alongside Marines and sailors in environments where immediate medical response often made the difference between life and death. That experience taught me the critical importance of staying calm under pressure and acting quickly to control severe bleeding. When I transitioned into civilian life, I knew I wanted to carry that mission forward—teaching others lifesaving skills through the STOP THE BLEED® campaign felt like a natural way to continue serving and empowering communities to be ready when seconds matter.”

Military medical experience inspired him to continue his commitment to lifesaving care after transitioning to civilian life. Agaran chose to carry forward that mission by teaching with the Stop the Bleed® campaign. He is passionate about empowering communities with skills that save lives when seconds matter.

Agaran is dedicated to making Stop the Bleed® training widely available beyond classroom settings. He actively contributes to community preparedness and resilience through collaborative efforts with local agencies. As part of his commitment to healthcare and readiness, Agaran has expanded Stop the Bleed® training in the western Tidewater region of Virginia to include Suffolk, Portsmouth and the surrounding areas.

Agaran has trained hundreds of individuals, including teachers, staff and everyday citizens. In addition, his work has built strong partnerships with local health departments and emergency response teams to increase training accessibility and community impact.

Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma.

It only takes an average of 3-5 minutes for a person to bleed out, yet it takes an average of 7-10 minutes for first responders to arrive on the scene.

This means it is crucial to make sure people are prepared to step in and save a life if they encounter a life-threatening bleed.

Emergencies can happen in the blink of an eye, are you and your loved ones prepared?

Preparedness Starts at Home, the 2025 theme, focuses on getting back to the essentials of preparedness. Here are four key actions you can take to prepare for any disaster you may face:

Know your risk

Know what could happen where you and your family live. This helps you figure out what you need to do to stay safe. You can explore various disasters and emergencies on Ready.gov.  

Make a family emergency plan

Making a plan early helps you reduce stress and save time and money. Follow four easy steps and create a free Family Emergency Plan quickly and easily with our fillable form.

Disasters are costly but preparing for them doesn’t have to be. Taking time to prepare now can help save you thousands of dollars and give you peace of mind when the next disaster or emergency occurs. Visit Ready.gov’s low and no-cost tip page to see how you can be better prepared without spending a lot of money.

Build an emergency supply kit

Having enough food, water and medicine can help you stay safe and comfortable until help arrives. Having what you need can also prevent injury and damage to your home.

Build a go-bag with all the essentials you might need, so you don’t need to scramble in an evacuation situation. Find a list of supplies at Build A Kit.

Get involved in your community by taking a STOP THE BLEED® class

Emergencies can happen fast, and emergency responders aren’t always nearby. You may be able to save a life by learning STOP THE BLEED® skills to save someone’s life in the case of a life-threatening bleed.

Get a STOP THE BLEED® Kit

In addition to preparing an Emergency Supply Kit, we encourage you to purchase a Department of Defense Licensed STOP THE BLEED® Kit for your family to make sure you have all of the tools at hand to stop a life-threatening bleed.

We only offer military grade Department of Defense approved STOP THE BLEED® Kits.

Why?

In the event of a bleeding emergency, you want to know that you have equipment that will work. There is cheaper equipment in the marketplace, but if you want to have confidence that the equipment you purchase will work when someone’s life is at stake, make sure it carries the STOP THE BLEED® mark.  If it doesn’t say STOP THE BLEED®, it might not work when the time comes.

Stop The Bleed Coalition | July 2025

The STOP THE BLEED® program has reached a major milestone: over 5 million people trained in life-saving bleeding control techniques. Designed to empower everyday citizens, the program teaches simple, emergency actions—like applying pressure, packing a wound, and using a tourniquet—that can save lives before professional help arrives.

With updated course materials, growing public awareness, and legislative momentum encouraging the placement of bleeding control kits in public spaces, the program continues to expand. Schools, sports venues, and government buildings are increasingly installing kits and offering training to staff and students, making communities safer and better prepared for emergencies.

A Life-Saving STOP THE BLEED® Moment: Kevin’s Story

Moravia Fire & Rescue | May 2025

On May 13, Moravia Fire and Rescue responded to a critical emergency: a man named Kevin had been run over by a brush cutter and lost both legs. Eight volunteer firefighters responded immediately, knowing that uncontrolled bleeding can be fatal in minutes.

En route, tourniquets were prepared from jump bags, ready for use. Remarkably, Kevin was able to wave them down despite his injuries. The EMS crew applied life-saving tourniquets, stabilized him with the help of Centerville Fire & Rescue, and he was airlifted to Mercy Des Moines for advanced trauma care.

In the days following, the team eagerly awaited updates. On Monday, they received the news: Kevin was recovering well and wanted to meet the team who saved his life.

The reunion was emotional, filled with gratitude and reflection. Kevin shared his plans to get back on the golf course, rebuild his home, and move forward with the same courage he displayed during the accident. He emphasized:

“I appreciate everything everyone does. This is your life, but you SAVED mine.”

Kevin’s story underscores the profound impact of STOP THE BLEED® training, reminding us all why knowing how to control life-threatening bleeding matters.

Missouri Passes New STOP THE BLEED® Legislation

Stop The Bleed Coalition | June 2025

Missouri’s Stop the Bleed Act aims to enhance emergency preparedness in schools by equipping staff and facilities to respond to traumatic bleeding incidents. Passed by both the House and Senate, the bill is awaiting the governor’s signature.

Key Provisions Include:

• Bleeding Control Kits: Schools must place kits in high-traffic areas such as cafeterias, auditoriums, and vocational classrooms.
  
• Training Requirements: School personnel receive annual training in bleeding control techniques.
  
• Protocol Development: DESE will create a traumatic blood loss protocol by January 1, 2026.
  
• Maintenance & Restocking: Kits must be inspected annually and promptly restocked after use.
  
• Liability Protection: School staff using kits in good faith are protected from civil liability, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
  

Travis Coleman discussed this legislation in a recent STOP THE BLEED® podcast, highlighting his work to make schools safer.

A Severe Bleed Can Happen Anywhere

Alfredo Cortes is a seasoned seaman with medical training and years of experience captaining yachts. His safety record is outstanding. At the Miami Boat Show he learned of the Mobilize® Rescue app and trauma kit. He had no idea how important they would be to him and his crew. 

Responsive and Prepared

Captain Cortes believes it’s important to support his crew and ensure preparedness. He seeks tools that bridge gaps in training and calm nerves during stressful events.

“One of the challenges I was looking to solve was that, while I have medical training and a large kit on board, I am the only one who knows how to use the equipment. However, with responsibility for flybridge activities and leadership of the crew, navigational duties often preclude the ship’s captain from administering medical care,” Cortes says. 

The Mobilize® Rescue app paired just-in-time (JiT) medical instructions with clearly labeled medical supplies available in emergency trauma kits of varying sizes. “Mobilize [offers] a cool app with step-by-step instructions that pretty much anybody can follow,” Cortes says.

“Mobilize allows us to respond to emergencies on board with just-in-time instruction. And, for the first time ever, my crew used this tool to provide medical care for me. It’s pretty cool.” – Caption Alfredo Cortes

Unexpected Turn of Events

During his first charter that year, Captain Cortes suffered a serious injury to his leg that caused profuse bleeding and was so painful that he wondered if he’d hit an artery.

He sent his crew to retrieve his new Mobilize trauma kit to quickly control the bleeding. His first mate easily followed the instructions in the tablet, applied a tourniquet and dressed the wound. Once back in port, Cortes went to the emergency room, where the attending physician mended the wound with stitches.

STOP THE BLEED®

Now, the Mobilize trauma kit that worked so well for Captain Cortes and his crew has earned a Stop the Bleed license. STOP THE BLEED® empowers people to save lives, encouraging training and access to supplies to treat traumatic injuries.

STOP THE BLEED® Day & STOP THE BLEED® Month 2025: Empowering People to Save Lives When US Army Combat Medic Marcelo Bini transitioned out of military service to law enforcement in 2016, he was determined to keep serving his community in a meaningful way. A licensed STOP THE BLEED® Instructor through the Stop The Bleed Coalition, Marcelo saw the program as a natural extension of his passion for teaching and his mission to protect and empower others. “I wanted to continue engaging the community around me by teaching how lives can be saved using the STOP THE BLEED® program,” he said. In 2018, that mission took him beyond his home in Texas—to Brazil—where he began teaching STOP THE BLEED® to police officers, school teachers, and students.

Veterans like Marcelo are joining members of the public and organizations across the globe to celebrate STOP THE BLEED® Day on May 22, 2025, a day dedicated to raising awareness and providing life-saving training to the public. STOP THE BLEED® is an official program of the U.S. Department of Defense, which recently launched the new DoD STOP THE BLEED® website.  It is designed to train and equip the public to be able to treat traumatic injuries involving severe bleeding until the first responders arrive. It is based on lessons learned by the DoD during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on how best to control severe bleeding.

USN Veteran turned Firefighter and EMT Joshua Chiarini learned those lessons first hand while serving in Iraq. He became a STOP THE BLEED® Instructor because he’d witnessed first hand how fast lives can be lost—and how quickly they can be saved—with just a little knowledge and the right mindset. “As a combat veteran and firefighter, I’ve worked in some of the most high-pressure environments, and what’s clear across every scene is that time matters. Teaching STOP THE BLEED® allows me to give that power to the public—students, teachers, parents, first responders—anyone. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being prepared. STOP THE BLEED® turns panic into purpose and bystanders into lifesavers.”

The focus of STOP THE BLEED® Day is to increase awareness of the campaign through a wide variety of activities designed to engage both members of the public as well as community organizations. The theme of STOP THE BLEED® Month is to increase the number of people trained. This year will see the first STOP THE BLEED® Trainathon using the new STOP THE BLEED® Training Management System. In addition, applications for the STOP THE BLEED® Grant program will be accepted throughout the month of May.

Why STOP THE BLEED® Matters

Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death in emergency situations. The STOP THE BLEED® campaign is based on battlefield medical advancements that demonstrated how rapid bleeding control techniques save lives. Someone can bleed out within minutes. It can take first responders up to 7 to 10 minutes to arrive at the scene, and sometimes much longer. In those cases, only people at the scene can help until first responders arrive. By equipping everyday citizens with the skills and confidence to act in bleeding emergencies, STOP THE BLEED® is making communities safer and more prepared. Through hands-on training and public awareness campaigns, STOP THE BLEED® transforms bystanders into immediate responders.

This year marks the 10th year of the campaign, which was launched at a White House ceremony in 2015. Since its start in the United States, the campaign has expanded to 165 countries. Governments, hospitals, schools, communities and humanitarian organizations worldwide have increasingly integrated STOP THE BLEED® training into their emergency preparedness and response strategies. This expansion has been driven by a universal need for rapid bleeding control skills in response to natural disasters, accidents, and acts of violence.

Veterans are driving the campaign’s progress, both in the United States and elsewhere. Since Marcelo became a STOP THE BLEED® Instructor, he and his partners have trained more than 1,000 people in STOP THE BLEED® across Brazil—and counting. “Brazilians are always in need of simple-to-understand, life-saving programs like STOP THE BLEED®,” he shared. “Their access to limited resources for bleeding control makes the program one of a kind.” Marcelo has helped lead the push for legislation in Brazil that mandates bleeding control training using STOP THE BLEED® fundamentals, and the program has been embraced across schools, public sectors, and businesses.

In schools, Marcelo organizes professional development sessions to train School Resource Officers and teachers on STOP THE BLEED®, CRASE (Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events), and ALERRT protocols. For younger students, he developed a kid-friendly approach using “blue blood” materials to teach core concepts without overwhelming them. With ongoing public-private partnerships, his team works to provide bleeding control kits to schools and motivate a growing network of volunteers. “STOP THE BLEED® has become a powerful tool in Brazil, where high homicide rates and limited emergency response make this kind of training essential,” Marcelo said. “Sometimes, these skills are the only recourse citizens have.”

STOP THE BLEED® training is a simple yet powerful way to make a difference. Whether you take a class, spread awareness, or encourage your organization to get involved, you can help save lives.

To learn more and get involved, visit DoDStopTheBleed.org and StopTheBleedProject.org.

A Month of Action and Awareness

Every May, we celebrate STOP THE BLEED® Month — a time to spotlight the importance of bleeding control training and to invite communities everywhere to get involved.

At the heart of the month is STOP THE BLEED® Day, happening on May 22, 2025. This annual day of action is designed to engage the public, schools, workplaces, and community organizations in spreading awareness and participating in hands-on training.

This year also marks the launch of the first-ever STOP THE BLEED® Trainathon, a national effort to get as many people trained as possible — whether you have two minutes or two hours, there’s a way to participate. It’s powered by our new Training Management System, making it easier than ever to connect instructors and learners.

Why It Matters

Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death after injury. A person can bleed to death in just minutes — often faster than emergency responders can arrive.

That’s why bystanders play a critical role in saving lives. With the right knowledge and tools, anyone can step in and help before first responders get to the scene.

Based on battlefield medical lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan, STOP THE BLEED® equips everyday citizens to recognize life-threatening bleeding and take immediate action using techniques like applying pressure, packing a wound, or using a tourniquet.

Ways to Get Involved

The STOP THE BLEED® Project has created several programs for people and organizations to join in throughout May:

STOP THE BLEED® Trainathon
Join others across the country and around the world in getting trained this month.

Social Media Campaigns
Participate in campaigns like Raise Your Hand, Would You Know, and the new #MySTOPTHEBLEEDStory, where people share how and why they got involved.
