Officers transitioning from a SOFTT-W tourniquet holder to a combined trauma kit — the LAPD Kit attaches to a tourniquet pouch worn on the belt, using the pouch as the attachment point and preserving the existing belt configuration. vs. The Alternatives LAPD Kit vs. PTRK: The PTRK is a standalone belt or MOLLE pouch with an internal tourniquet divider.
