The course will present principals, skills and techniques of understanding and using “OC”; control violent and aggressive behavior, reduce personal injury to officers, subjects, and the general public; increase an officer’s confidence in the physically threatening situations; and reduce the exposure of civil liability of the officer and the employer for unnecessary or improper force used to control violent and aggressive people.

The participants will be able to understand the placement of a chemical agent in the Use of Force Continuum and when it's application is appropriate.  The student will be able to identify ingredients and their purpose in the aerosol projector.  The student will also be able to identify the active agents in the projector, identify the intended target area for delivery of the agent, demonstrate proper application of the chemical agent, as well as identify proper decontamination and first aid for chemical agent exposure.
