Aerosol / Chemical Agent Targets

In most cases, if an officer is confronted with a resistive subject one of the first options is to use one of these aerosol/chemical agents to gain compliance. In order to achieve maximum effect of the LLW agents, officers should attempt to aim them at the face; specifically the eyes and mouth. By design these aerosol/chemical agents are designed to target the following areas:

  • Eyes
  • Respiratory System
  • Mucus Membranes
  • Skin
