Local Spotlight
Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers, Inc., in collaboration with our Safe School Program, recently embarked on a special initiative to enhance safety measures in schools. We are proud to have provided intermediate bleeding control kits to various school districts, including Bee, Goliad, and Live Oak counties, as well as two private schools and one charter school. The allocation of these kits was based on a ratio of one kit per five students, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
In addition, we also obtained intermediate bleeding control training kits for distribution among school administrators and campuses. These training kits serve as valuable resources for educating staff members and empowering them with the necessary skills to respond effectively to bleeding emergencies.
We are delighted to share that, to date, we have successfully distributed a total of 987 intermediate bleeding control kits and 23 intermediate training kits.
Looking to the future, we are pleased to invite school districts to an upcoming reception as an opportunity to further discuss and highlight our Safe School program, while also providing district representatives a platform to showcase their own safety initiatives. Themed as "What We Do!", the reception aims to celebrate the collective efforts of all participating school districts in fostering a safe and secure learning environment.
The availability of the bleeding control kits is made possible through the kind and generous contributions of donors who have graciously supported our annual law enforcement dinner and other fundraising events organized by our board of directors. We are truly grateful for their support, which enables us to provide these vital resources to schools.
Our Safe School Program is especially dedicated to Ann Perkins, one of the victims of the tragic Santa Fe High School shooting in May 2018. It is in her memory and in honor of all those affected by such incidents that we are committed to empowering schools with the necessary tools and knowledge to respond effectively in emergency situations.
- Cathey Brown, Executive Director
