PEPPER SPRAY
Aside from the Baton, pepper spray is an equally effective defense gear that can visually impair the attackers for quite sometime before their normal vision is restored. Security personnel must know the basics of handling pepper spray and the laws governing pepper spray’s carrying and usage. At code 4 security training, we have a separate pepper spray training program to help you learn the details of pepper spray, how it works, and the effective methods to use pepper spray to protect yourself and the citizens from the troublemakers. If aimed correctly, pepper spray can deter troublemakers from causing further discomfort and immediately de-escalate the situation.
Does BSIS issue Pepper Spray certification?
No. BSIS does not provide any permit for the usage of pepper spray.
We offer you a Training Certificate that proves you are capable of using pepper spray in critical situations.
To purchase a paper spray, you must be 18 years old or above and be a security guard cardholder or application before receiving your pepper spray training and certification at code 4 security training.

Step: 1
Pepper spray training course comprises two hours of theoretical and practical classes that make you adept at using pepper spray canisters for defense.

Step: 2
You will also learn about OC pepper spray and its usage patterns, followed by a practical implementation of what works best in a hypothetical situation. Pepper spray is a defensive strategy, and you must learn about giving a verbal warning to de-escalate the situation before using the pepper spray on someone. Our trainers guide you about using reasonable force while dealing with troublemakers rather than going overboard and damaging someone’s eyes and face.
Step 3
The next hour is aimed at physical training to help you master the skill of paper spraying. Our trainers inform you about proper stance, effective deployment, and self-protection while using a paper spray. It is an integral part of pepper-spraying as the range of spray is quite limited. You will learn numerous methods to scare away troublemakers by undergoing practical training drills and decontamination methods after using pepper spray.
