Reserve Officer Paul Strauss, an M.D., teaches “Stop the Bleed” to officers at LAPD Southeast Community Police Station. This national awareness campaign and call to action is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

Stewie, the U.S. Navy mascot, was among those who dropped by the LAPD reserve recruitment booth at L.A. Fleet Week at the Port of Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend. No word on whether he applied.
