Oleoresin Capsicum
Aerosol Training
One Day (8- hour) Instructor Certification* Course
*OCAT®
program owned and certification issued by PPCI Training
Aerosol
chemical agents have been around for many years. The impact of the use of
these chemical agents wasn't significant until 1976 when Mr. Gardner
Whitcomb introduced an Oleoresin Capsicum (pepper spray) formulation. At
the request of Mr. Whitcomb, the first official OC training manual was
co-written by Roland Ouellette and Ed Nowicki. OC has proven to be more
effective than CS or CN, and as a result, numerous companies now
manufacture OC aerosol sprays.
Since
the introduction of the OCAT® training
program in 1991, more than 4,500 instructors and 200,000 basic users have
been trained from agencies such as healthcare, federal, military, law
enforcement, security, and corrections. The OCAT®
program is not brand specific and addresses the proper use of all OC
products.
PPCI
Training, Inc. is the only company in the world providing this invaluable
training course. The PPCI instructor staff has many years of law
enforcement experience, as well as more than a decade of OCAT®
training experience.
What is Oleoresin
Capsicum?
Commonly
called "Pepper Spray", Oleoresin Capsicum is a convenient
aerosol spray that is used as a protection device. When used before
hands-on defense, there is less risk of injuries to all parties.
Effects of OC?
OC
affects the skin, face, eyes, and respiratory system and is usually
immediately debilitating. This court-defensible deterrent is reliable
and has no long-term harmful effects on the recipient. OC is completely
safe.
