Iroquois County EMA coordinator Scott Anderson approved as STOP THE BLEED® Instructor

The Daily Journal | September 21, 2024

“I’m excited to let everyone know that I was recently approved to be an Instructor for the STOP THE BLEED® program, and I’m looking forward to teaching our community how to STOP THE BLEED®,” said Scott Anderson, coordinator for the Iroquois County Emergency Management Agency, in a news release.

“My initial training sessions will be focused on providing members of our law enforcement agencies with this life-saving knowledge. I will later expand this training to teachers within our schools. Eventually, I would like to be able to offer this program to churches, organizations or individual members of the public. If you or your organization are interested in getting trained, please let me know by sending an email to my office at [email protected], and I will start a list. I am also looking to add instructors, which will allow for more classes.”

It is estimated more than 30,000 lives could be saved each year if more people had this basic, straightforward-but-vital Stop the Bleed training.

“I’m also now part of the Stop the Bleed Coalition,” Anderson continued. “The coalition is an IRS approved, tax exempt, 501©(3) charitable organization. It was formed with a mandate to support the Stop the Bleed campaign and is the only nonprofit organization with that singular purpose.”

**If you have become a licensed STOP THE BLEED® Instructor with the Stop The Bleed Coalition, we have news release templates and other resources to help you spread the word to your community. We encourage you to reach out to your local news to let them know about your achievement!**
