00:15.170 --> 00:16.280
- [Trainer] Close your eyes,

00:16.280 --> 00:17.280
take a deep breathe,

00:17.280 --> 00:19.670
OC, OC, OC, OC!

00:19.670 --> 00:21.306
Open your eyes, all right, let's go.

00:21.306 --> 00:22.735
(beep)

00:22.735 --> 00:24.337
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

00:24.337 --> 00:27.014
(electric music)

00:27.014 --> 00:28.039
- Get on the ground, now.

00:28.039 --> 00:33.039
(electric music)

00:33.473 --> 00:37.650
- Like grass and fire and pretty
much all of those combined

00:37.650 --> 00:38.950
being poured in your eyes.

00:40.090 --> 00:42.210
- It was a lot more difficult
than it was this morning:

00:42.210 --> 00:45.690
your eyes slam shut,
you can't see very well,

00:45.690 --> 00:46.730
it's a lot of pain.

00:46.730 --> 00:48.620
- [Kevin] 10 newly assigned camp summer

00:48.620 --> 00:52.330
law enforcement soldiers
took Oleoresin Capsicum,

00:52.330 --> 00:54.703
commonly referred to as pepper spray,

00:54.703 --> 00:57.540
qualification training in
order to learn its effects,

00:57.540 --> 01:00.530
as part of their law
enforcement certification.

01:00.530 --> 01:02.219
- The main goal for this training was

01:02.219 --> 01:06.710
to give the MP's a
familiarity of it, of the OC,

01:06.710 --> 01:08.910
just in case if they sprayed
out there on the field,

01:08.910 --> 01:11.350
and they become contaminated with it,

01:11.350 --> 01:12.970
they will know how it feels,

01:12.970 --> 01:16.440
and how to fight through,
if the time was needed.

01:16.440 --> 01:19.040
- [Kevin] During the OC
spray qualification training,

01:19.040 --> 01:22.140
soldiers went through seven
different stations controlling

01:22.140 --> 01:23.880
a non-compliant subject

01:23.880 --> 01:27.303
using Mechanical Advantage
Control Holds techniques,

01:27.303 --> 01:31.050
batons and handcuff skills
after being sprayed.

01:31.050 --> 01:33.720
- Muscle memory kind of
took over a little bit.

01:33.720 --> 01:34.930
I mean, it could have been a lot worse

01:34.930 --> 01:37.060
where I had no training
and just go straight at it

01:37.060 --> 01:39.820
and pretty much look like a buffoon,

01:39.820 --> 01:42.400
but the training pretty much took over

01:42.400 --> 01:45.870
and everything just fell into place.

01:45.870 --> 01:48.660
- It definitely makes you
think twice before you use it,

01:48.660 --> 01:50.670
and you only use it when
you absolutely have to;

01:50.670 --> 01:52.700
just making sure we're not
escalating the situation

01:52.700 --> 01:53.730
more than it's necessary

01:53.730 --> 01:56.460
and making sure we can still
de-escalate the situation.

01:56.460 --> 01:57.293
- [Kevin] The week-long

01:57.293 --> 01:59.290
law enforcement certification training

01:59.290 --> 02:02.010
not only gave these soldiers
a chance to practice

02:02.010 --> 02:03.510
their physical movements,

02:03.510 --> 02:05.580
but also provided them the confidence

02:05.580 --> 02:08.070
to determine how and when to use force

02:08.070 --> 02:10.210
to control different situations.

02:10.210 --> 02:13.480
- As it pertains to the new
privates, it's just to give them

02:13.480 --> 02:15.830
that first hands-on experience.

02:15.830 --> 02:16.890
With working the ROD,

02:16.890 --> 02:18.750
we dwell to go through the do's

02:18.750 --> 02:20.400
and don'ts of working the ROD

02:20.400 --> 02:22.200
and what to possibly look for.

02:22.200 --> 02:24.290
So it was just to give
them that experience,

02:24.290 --> 02:26.270
and then from there, work the ROD

02:26.270 --> 02:28.640
and further build up their experience

02:28.640 --> 02:30.410
to be an effective patrolman.

02:30.410 --> 02:32.260
