In an active school incident the SRO is frequently the first and only armed responder on site in the opening minutes. A single-casualty IFAK runs out fast when there are wounded in more than one room.
What gives the lone SRO enough depth to treat several casualties at once?
The SRO Crisis Response Kit is configured for exactly that reality — carrying enough to treat the officer if wounded (self-aid) and to render immediate care to multiple casualties in adjacent spaces before backup arrives. Four black CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T® tourniquets provide simultaneous coverage for four separate extremity wounds; layered 4″ and 6″ ETD dressings plus an abdominal ETD and four compressed-gauze-class rolls cover a range of wound sizes; and the HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack addresses penetrating chest trauma. CPR microshields, surgical tape, trauma shears, and five pairs of gloves round out a kit built for fast, repeated use across several patients.

When To Use It
- context: Multi-casualty active shooter response — SRO Crisis Response Kit provides treatment supplies for multiple casualties beyond the officer's individual kit.
- context: First arriving officer at MCI — crisis kit staged in SRO's office or vehicle for immediate deployment on arriving at an active-threat scene.
- context: School hallway triage — kit provides tourniquet and hemorrhage control for multiple students or staff before EMS warm-zone access.
- context: Cross-trained SRO teams — multiple SROs drawing from the crisis kit enables coordinated multi-casualty treatment per ASHER protocols.
How It Compares
SRO Crisis Response Kit vs. SRO Individual Response Kit: The Individual kit is personal carry for one officer (treat + extract); the Crisis Response Kit is a larger staged resource for multiple casualties. An SRO should have both. See law enforcement.
SRO Crisis Kit vs. School Mass Crisis Kit: The School Mass Crisis Kit is designed for teacher/staff first response with minimal training; the SRO Crisis Kit is an officer-carried multi-casualty medical resource with provider-level components. See bleeding control stations.
SRO Crisis Kit vs. patrol vehicle trauma bag: Vehicle trauma bags carry more supplies but are not immediately on the officer's person; the Crisis Response Kit is sized for staged deployment from the SRO's office for immediate access without running to the vehicle. See IFAK kits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SRO Crisis Response Kit CoTCCC-recommended?
A: The kit is built around CoTCCC-recommended components (C-A-T® tourniquet, HyFin® Vent Chest Seal, compressed gauze) for the leading preventable causes of traumatic death in active-threat incidents. The crisis kit is designed for ASHER (Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response) application.
Q: What training is required to use the SRO Crisis Response Kit?
A: SRO carriers should complete TCCC or ASHER-specific bleeding control training minimum. The kit includes advanced components (chest seals) that require provider-level training for correct application.
Q: How many casualties can the SRO Crisis Response Kit treat?
A: The Crisis Response Kit is designed for multiple casualties. Verify current kit quantities in the product listing to determine the number of tourniquet and chest seal sets included.
Q: What is the NSN or procurement path for the SRO Crisis Response Kit?
A: Available through MED-TAC International. Agencies can use COPS grants, Homeland Security cooperative purchasing, or state LE grants for procurement. Contact MED-TAC for current pricing and agency discounts.
Q: How does the SRO Crisis Kit differ from the SRO Individual Response Kit?
A: The SRO Individual Response Kit is personal-carry sized for one officer treating one or two casualties, and includes the Hasty Harness for extraction. The SRO Crisis Response Kit is a larger, staged multi-casualty resource for treating multiple casualties at the incident scene.
