OC Spray Day for Basic Peace Officer Course Class 7. OC spray, commonly known as pepper spray, is often used to de-escalate volatile situations before they escalate into violence, which is why it’s crucial for our cadets to understand its effects. This training experience builds empathy, encourages restraint, and educates future officers on the responsible use of less-lethal force. Through this training, recruits learn to respect their authority and prioritize de-escalation whenever possible. #W

OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray, a.k.a, “pepper spray” is a memorable experience for most service members in every branch or occupational specialty. Being sprayed allows service members the training to fight through the pain when their fight or flight response kicks in. It allows service members to think before deciding to utilize OC spray should an event potentially call for its use. (U.S. Army National Guard video by Sgt.
