Pepper Spray Certification

Online training for responsible O.C. spray use
The O.C. / Pepper Spray Certification course is a self-paced online program taught by William Gaston. The published curriculum introduces oleoresin capsicum, reviews common canister types, addresses justified use and subject decontamination, and covers positional-asphyxia awareness.
The course includes four video lessons and four quizzes. Because defensive-spray policies and assignment requirements can differ, students should confirm what their employer, agency, or training program requires in addition to this online course.
