OC SPRAY | As our recruits approach graduation, their final weeks of training include exposure to OC spray and tasers. Our Spring 2025 class learned how OC spray physiologically and psychologically impacts the human body. They may be exposed while patrolling the streets so experiencing it now in a training evironment is the safest way to get sprayed with oleoresin capsicum for the first time. | Lincoln Police Department
