OC spray, also known as pepper spray, isn’t about punishment; it’s about understanding. As future officers, experiencing OC spray helps us grasp its affects firsthand. It teaches us empathy, restraint, and how to use non-lethal force responsibly. 💪 By going through this, we learn to respect the power we wield and prioritize de-escalation whenever possible. It’s all about ensuring safety – for ourselves and the communities we serve. #lawenforcement #training #basictraining This Basic class is co

OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray, a.k.a, “pepper spray” is a memorable experience for most service members in every branch or occupational specialty. Being sprayed allows service members the training to fight through the pain when their fight or flight response kicks in. It allows service members to think before deciding to utilize OC spray should an event potentially call for its use. (U.S. Army National Guard video by Sgt.
