Bleed control kits are specialist first aid kits that can help stem bleeding from serious injuries, to give victims a better chance at surviving until paramedics arrive. In June 2019, the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner funded an initial roll-out of 50 bleed kits. In October 2019, kits were introduced to Liverpool as part of the city's Knifesavers initiative and, in November this year, City of London Police began distributing 320 bleed-control kits to venues across the Square Mile. When will bleed kits be available to the officers in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS)?
