OC pepper spray has a high percentage of effectiveness in subduing a non-compliant person, but it is important to understand what OC spray can and cannot do. Security officers can learn techniques that make the spray the most effective. OC spray is not infallible; it does not stop all people. Also, some subjects take longer to feel the effects. An attacker can still grab, strike, or cause other physical damage to you after being sprayed.
Olympic Tactical Instructors will assist the student in acquiring a general working knowledge of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Aerosol Projectors, both technically and tactically, providing them with the skills necessary to carry and use on duty. The course is approximately 4-6 hours.
