The 46 Trooper-Trainees of the #VSP 132nd Basic Session found themselves outside enjoying the recent fall temps, which arrived just in time for chemical munitions training at the VSP Driver Training Center. OC spray exposure is required of all troopers, who are then run through - w/help from a fellow trainee - a series of officer-survival tasks before seeking relief from water and a strong fan. #WhereTroopersAreMade | Virginia State Police

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
