The Hastings Police Department recertifies every year in BLS Training, which is Basic Life Support.
This includes bleeding control, CPR, bandaging, and patient assessment. This training requires
equipment that is borrowed from other jurisdictions to simulate real life scenarios. Officer Nick Cross,
the HPD First Aid Training Instructor, requested funding from the Prairie Island Tribal Council to
purchase the necessary training supplies and to purchase the correct first aid equipment for the Hastings
Police Department. This equipment will ensure the Hasting Police Officers have the necessary tools to
respond and treat each other and the citizens of Hastings in the event or a critical incident.
