Since 2019 We’ve Donated $60,000 in Paramedic-grade Medical Bags
There’s still lot to be done. A growing number of communities and first response teams across the United States are contacting us to come to their area and deliver these life saving medical bags as many have no such equipment. Let’s continue to increase the capabilities of first responders in responding to emergencies.
We’ve made a lot of progress,
but we still have a long way to go before every department in the country has the medical bags/trauma kits that they need. Please join us as we continue to help secure the safety and efficacy of our police and first responders.
Wilson County Texas event $40,000 worth of medical bags were donated and will have an impact on all 97 patrol vehicles across every law enforcement agency in Wilson County, Texas. These kits include essential items like tourniquets and bandages, allowing officers to provide life-saving first aid while waiting for paramedics. The recent donation of 97 Trauma Kits to Wilson County law enforcement vehicles will undoubtedly enhance their ability to respond effectively in crisis situations. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen!

The Problem
Challenges for First Responders & Communities
Budget Cuts
After “defund the police” became the rallying cry of protests, police officers and firefighters, in small and large cities alike, have gone from heroes to budget bait.
Equipment Shortages
Thanks to these budget cuts, communities must make hard choices about what equipment they can afford to provide first responders. Fire and police departments across the country are reaching out to us to help them meet their equipment needs.
Diminished Capacity
The budget cuts, personnel reductions, station closures, and equipment shortages, greatly diminishes the capacity of our first responders to respond to life threatening emergencies.
Police officers and firefighters put their lives on the line every day and yet many departments are facing budget cuts as well as equipment and supply shortages.
Back the Badge has been a beacon of support in our community, providing valuable resources and fostering a strong sense of unity. Truly grateful.
