According to policies, what should you NOT do when using OC (Oleoresin Capsicum)?

The use of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC), commonly known as pepper spray, is governed by strict guidelines that prioritize the safety and well-being of individuals. When considering the treatment of vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly, it is important to avoid using OC. These groups are often more susceptible to the effects of irritants, which can cause severe discomfort or health complications. This policy reflects a commitment to minimizing harm and using OC only in situations where it is deemed necessary for self-defense or control of a threat.

While the other options may present valid scenarios for using OC, they generally pertain to situations where an immediate threat is present, indicating a need for defense or control. Aggressive individuals may pose a risk that necessitates the use of OC to protect oneself or others. However, using OC in enclosed spaces can pose additional risks, providing a reason to be cautious and assess the environment before deployment, but it does not carry the same ethical ramifications as targeting vulnerable groups. Thus, the policy is clear that the use of OC should be avoided entirely with children and the elderly to prioritize their safety and health.
