“These tourniquets enhance our ability to act quickly in life-threatening situations, protecting both our deputies and the citizens of Avoyelles Parish,” Sheriff Dauzat said. “We sincerely appreciate the support of the United States Deputy Sheriff’s Association in strengthening our mission to keep our community safe.”

CAT tourniquets are designed to control severe bleeding in trauma situations. Featuring a windlass system for one-handed application, these devices are widely used by law enforcement, first responders, and military personnel to prevent life-threatening blood loss before medical care arrives.
