Less Lethal

• OC

OC spray, or oleoresin capsicum spray, is a type of pepper spray used for self-defense that incapacitates a person by causing temporary blindness, intense burning, and respiratory distress. The active ingredient, oleoresin capsicum, is an oily extract from chili peppers that is a potent irritant. It is used by law enforcement and civilians, though it is not the same as traditional "mace," which can contain different chemical compounds.

• Baton

Primarily used by law enforcement and security personnel as a less-lethal intermediate weapon for self-defense, subject control, and compliance. It is a versatile tool that can be used in both its collapsed and expanded forms.

• Handcuffs

Used to restrain individuals, ensure officer safety, prevent suspects from escaping, and protect the individuals themselves from self-harm or causing further harm to others. They are a standard restraint tool during arrests to maintain control over a person in custody until they can be secured.
