Guidance on the use of Incapacitant CS Spray

This procedure outlines the circumstances when Incapacitant Spray should be deployed and gives instructions on the actions that must be undertaken.

The Incapacitant spray is dispensed from a hand held pressurized canister in a mono-jet of liquid.  Its identified effective deployment range is between 3 and 10 feet after which strong wind and adverse weather can affect the delivery system.  The canister is designed to deliver between 6 to 8 seconds worth of spray.

Permanent injury maybe caused to a person if incapacitant is sprayed directly into the eyes from a distance of less than 3 feet.
