Defense Spray Certification
This course will be modified to the
level of expertise in the audience and can be adapted in the classroom for
multiple levels of experience and understanding.
Training Goals and Objectives
This class
is designed to provide students with a solid foundation of knowledge and a
functional understanding of the use of oleoresin capsicum (OC) aerosol as a
use of force tool or option. Additionally, students will learn the effects
of OC and the limitations of it.
This
course involves direct exposure to OC
Training Audience, Format and
Content
This is an advanced skill development
course designed for all levels of personnel, currently involved in public
safety activities. Topics include; effects of OC, use and deployment of OC,
types of OC and delivery systems, recognition of behavioral cues in
situations requiring OC use, prisoner care and decontamination procedures.
This course is most successful when
taught and received with audiences of 30 officers or fewer, but has been
given in groups of 100 or more with successful reviews. The smaller groups
enable officers to have more direct dialog & contact with the instructors
and the other students.
The course is designed in 1 day
session with each day involving the exploration of a different topic and
the reinforcement of previous learned material. The course is generally
designed to run from 0800 to 1600 hours daily, but can be manipulated for
evenings and extended days as needed.
