This course will certify the client to carry OC Pepper Spray while on duty.

The client will learn about the safe and effective use, the different levels of contamination, and how to properly decontaminate after exposure. Clients are not required to be spayed to be certified. Clients will receive a certification certificate upon successful completion of this course.

Prerequisites:

• Must hold a Commissioned permit.

  Note: Non-Commissioned can take the course, the Private Security Board has approved training on the use of a chemical dispensing device as a supplement to the Level III training curricula. The defensive tactics and use of force components of the Level III training course provide the background training necessary to ensure the officer’s use of the device is safe, appropriate, and authorized. The Pepper Spray Training is therefore approved only for those who have completed the Level III training.
