The Missouri Sheriffs’ Association is proud to announce an updated and expanded Less-Lethal Impact Munitions Instructor Course, designed to provide advanced training and certification for law enforcement and Corrections professionals. This newly enhanced 16-hour program builds upon our previous 8-hour course, delivering comprehensive instruction on the most current best practices, policies, and procedures for the effective and safe use of less-lethal impact munitions.

This 8-hour Instructor Course allows successful graduates to teach end-users to properly deploy OC and to properly care for those exposed to the product. In addition to covering how to deploy pepper spray, this course stresses under what circumstances pepper spray may be appropriately used as a force option, decontamination procedures, and the need to closely monitor individuals for adverse medical effects after exposure.
