A SWAT team leader is not a doctor, a registered nurse, and probably not a paramedic. I would strongly recommend he get himself a real First Aid Kit (and maybe try to stay awake in his next Red Cross course <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

I can't do much better than quote an earlier post from one of our resident doctors, Trusbx:
=============================
I would caution all who carry superglue /dermabond / cyanoacrylate adhesive against using the glue to close wounds unless you are sure that it is clean or has been cleaned properly. An open wound can be cleaned and dressed to heal (albeit with a scar) but a dirty wound if sealed up will inevitably lead to infection and wound breakdown, or worse still deeper fascial infection.
General advice to all using glue to effect skin closure :
1. Clean the wound thouroughly
2. Wait for 24 hours and clean the wound again.
3. If no evidence of infection and you wish to close the wound, you can do so with the attendant risk (albeit reduced) of subsequent wound infection.

Never , ever close a dirty wound.
=============================

This pretty much echoes what I teach as a First Aid instructor.

A police officer, of all people, should know how to do proper First Aid, and he should carry a proper First Aid kit.
