Fox News
Retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Officer Ashton Packe, who helped respond to the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in October 2017, revealed what he carries in his bag to stay prepared during the most unexpected of events.
"At the end of the day, we don't know what the universe is going to throw our way. There are some things we can't control. There are some things we can. But … situational awareness, safety training. I carry a tourniquet in all my vehicles. I have several — one for me and one for the person who's hurt. It's just like a medical kit. I just have it. It's ready to go. It's like having a fire extinguisher in your house," Packe, who served on the LVMPD's Counter-Terrorism Section, said.
In his bag, he "always" carries a firearm, a knife, a tourniquet and a handcuff key.
