SRO-Einzelantwortkit

Is the SRO Individual Response Kit designed for school resource officers specifically?

Yes. The NAR SRO Individual Response Kit was purpose-built for School Resource Officers responding to active-threat incidents. It addresses the most common life-threatening injuries from penetrating trauma (gunshot and stab wounds) and uniquely includes the NAR Hasty Harness for casualty extraction — enabling an SRO to move a wounded student or staff member to a safer location for continued care before EMS arrival.

Does the SRO kit include CoTCCC-recommended items?

Yes. The kit includes the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T® Combat Application Tourniquet (black), NAR Compressed Gauze for wound packing, and HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack for penetrating thoracic trauma. These are the primary CoTCCC-recommended interventions for the leading causes of preventable traumatic death: uncontrolled hemorrhage and tension pneumothorax.

What is the Hasty Harness included in the SRO kit used for?

The NAR Hasty Harness is approximately 22 feet of 1-inch Tech Tape with a minimum break strength of 6,000 lb (sewn sling) that can be configured for point-of-wounding drag, assisted carry, hoisting, and confined-space lowering. In a school incident, it allows an SRO to extract a downed casualty from an exposed area to a safer position for treatment continuation, aligning with current ASHER (Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response) doctrine of rapid movement combined with hemorrhage control.

How portable is the SRO Individual Response Kit for everyday carry in a school environment?

The kit is compact and duty-carry optimized, measuring H 8.5 in. × W 8.75 in. × D 4.5 in. and weighing only 2.3 lb. It is sized to fit in a desk drawer, attach to a duty bag, or be staged at a fixed position. This compact profile makes it practical for daily in-school deployment without interfering with normal officer duties.

What types of injuries can the SRO kit address?

The SRO Individual Response Kit is designed for penetrating trauma — primarily gunshot and stab wounds. It can manage extremity hemorrhage with the C-A-T® tourniquet, junctional and wound bleeding with compressed gauze and the trauma dressing, and penetrating chest injuries with the HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack. The kit is intended for self-aid, buddy-aid, and civilian care in the immediate minutes before EMS access.
