Article ViewPepperBall Non-Lethal Product Applications
PepperBall non-lethal compliance products are designed to fill a critical gap in the use of force continuum and provide law enforcement officers and correctional facility guards the safest, most effective non-lethal tools in a variety of use of force or inmate management situations. From the most effective Pepper Spray available to PepperBall''s patented projectiles that deploy Chemnetics™ to effectively gain compliance, to their technical training courses, PepperBall brings you life saving weapons to enforce the law and maintain order among public citizen and inmate communities.
The pain compliance impact of the hard, frangible projectiles is enhanced by the application of a powdered irritant: PAVA, a.k.a. Capsaicin II. As PepperBall Projectiles strike and break apart, the resulting PAVA powder cloud envelops the eyes and enters the breathing passages providing greater opportunity for successful incident resolution. Standoff/Barricade Situations Unlike other weapons, PepperBall can overcome barricades by saturating an area with PAVA, a.k.a Capsaicin II, powder from a distance. Officers can target areas above and around a suspect, flooding the area with PAVA and forcing suspects to give up their position. By launching an initial glass-shattering projectile followed by a series of PepperBall Projectiles, officers can also deliver pepper irritant on suspects enclosed in automobiles. A volley of PepperBall Projectiles fired at a window in a building or other structure can also cause breakage, depending on the glass type, thickness, and size. Riot Control/Civil Order The PepperBall System can effectively distribute PAVA powder in a riot setting and disperse uncontrolled crowds. Suspects can be individually targeted or PAVA powder can be distributed over an entire group by launching a volley of projectiles against a wall, street, or hard object above, near, or upwind of a group of targets from distances up to 150 feet. Dye Marking rounds are also available to allow officers to mark individual troublemakers for later identification. Jail / Corrections The PepperBall System is ideal for corrections or detainment applications. Cell extractions or returns, lock-down sweeps, dayroom or exercise yard fights, inmate transport, or full-scale riots can be controlled. The individual targeting capabilities of the PepperBall System allows your personnel to manage and control inmates more effectively. Targeting cell walls and ceilings allows PAVA (Capsaicin II) powder to fall behind the barricade and drive out barricaded inmates. Prison areas can also be denied to potential inmate rioters by saturating selected locations with PAVA powder from distances up to 150 feet. Because of the localization of PAVA powder contamination, facility-wide contamination through ventilation systems can be avoided. Clean up is simple; sweep up or rinse off the powder and discard in the trash. Hostage Rescue Innocent victims can be protected from serious injury by using the PepperBall System in hostage situations. Unlike other solutions, suspects can be targeted without causing permanent injury to hostages caught in the crossfire. Projectiles can be used to saturate an area with PAVA powder, forcing a suspect to give up their position without resorting to lethal force. Glass shattering rounds can create an opening to deploy the powder. Area Denial PepperBall projectiles can be shot, from distances up to 150 feet, into and around a large group of people to disperse PAVA powder and keep crowds from advancing. This can be of assistance in directing crowd movement to desired areas, or to assist officer withdrawal. Suicide-by-Police PepperBall Projectiles combine kinetic impact with PAVA powder to enable force a suicidal suspect to drop weapons and surrender. The psychological impact of being shot, combined with the kinetic impact and pepper effect, may allow officers time to make an arrest without the use of lethal force. Domestic Violence Domestic violence incidents are unique in that the victim often does not want the perpetrator injured or killed. Often family members or friends of the subject may interfere with or even attack officers, escalating the level of danger at the scene. The PepperBall System gives officers a non-lethal option to deploy for ending the domestic violence and gaining compliance from any who might interfere with safe resolution of the incident. Realistic Scenario & Live-Fire Training PepperBall has developed a wide variety of patented PepperBall projectiles to create realistic training and role-play scenarios. PepperBall Projectiles are available in inert powder and inert liquid versions, making it possible to conduct both indoor and outdoor live-fire training without contaminating an area with pepper powder. There is no substitute for realistic training allowing the "suspect" to "react" to officers. The inert water training projectiles are an ideal solution for training realism with minimum cleanup.
