Stop the Bleed Training Now Available

Stop the Bleed training is now available to California JPIA members. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Stop the Bleed course teaches participants how to recognize life-threatening bleeding and take immediate, effective action to control it. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on practice, students learn proper bleeding-control techniques, including direct pressure, wound packing, and the use of commercial tourniquets.

In July 2025, the California JPIA, in partnership with OC CPR Training, began integrating Stop the Bleed into all CPR and classes. Since then, more than 700 California JPIA members have completed the training, with that number expected to reach 1,000 by year’s end. Each course is taught by experienced firefighters and military veterans who bring real-world insight to the classroom, enhancing understanding, engagement, and student confidence.

Attendee feedback has been positive, highlighting the course as both highly educational and engaging, with participants noting that they gained valuable new information.

If you are interested in this training, please contact your training registrar to schedule CPR/First Aid training, now combined with Stop the Bleed. For any additional questions, contact the Authority training department.
