This 4-hour course begins with the history of OC Pepper spray use and moves onto health effects including impact on human eyes and the respiratory system. It covers in-custody deaths, and the role pepper spray may or may not have played.
Firearms instructors take your skills and abilities to a new level. The addition of the semiautomatic rifle has increased the effectiveness of the patrol officer, but it also offers challenges to the trainer. This course is a POST approved course required to obtain a patrol rifle specialist instructor license. This two-day course is mentally and physically demanding, so participants must be in good physical condition. Both days will run longer than the minimum of eight (8) hours with low light shoot.
Not only are they responsible for the performance of general law enforcement duties, they are also responsible for guiding recruits through a comprehensive curriculum that requires the blending of knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as the good judgment of when, where, and how to apply them.
Topics include impact munitions, CS gas & OC pepper spray. It is encouraged that you are already a firearms instructor, but not required. You must be certified on pepper spray prior to this class.
