Law Enforcement – Sgt. Det. John Burrows and Ofc. Awan Freeman, Boston Police Department. Burrows and Awan both worked as medics in the military before joining BPD and have since witnessed hundreds of gunshot or stab wound victims whose lives could have been saved with immediate care prior to first responder arrival. Burrows and Freeman began training fellow officers on controlling life-threatening bleeding by packing wounds and applying tourniquets. Now, they have taken that training to the public, teaching Stop the Bleed courses in community centers and offices around Mattapan and Dorchester.
