The purpose of this class is to give officers a viable option between talking and fighting. If one can avoid the hand-to-hand confrontation, one can likewise avoid an assault. This is a certified 4 hour Missouri P.O.S.T course.

Officer safety is the primary focus of this training.
The secondary focus is minimizing liability to the officer and the department.

Upon completion of this 4 hour block of instruction, the student will be able to:

Briefly explain the history of tactical chemical munitions involving the use of OC based products.
Explain the primary differences between CN, CS, and OC, including their concentrations, carriers, and performance characteristics.
Explain the various spray/delivery techniques and distances for using CN, CS, and OC.
Explain where the chemical aerosols are found on the force continuum.
Explain when it is appropriate to deploy chemical aerosols.
Explain decontamination procedures for persons exposed to pepper spray/First Defense or Sabre Red.
