Plastic restraints and DNA Spray

praetorian550

Its only available via the trainers- after a course of instruction. Each can is uniquely DNA tagged and given and individual code number for reference and evidential reasons.

The reason the spray is only available with training is because the course covers the legalities of use and how to record the incident for evidential reasons. There's little point in having the DNA spray if you can't record the incident suitably so that the evidence may be used in court.
There is another DNA spray available but from what I saw of the demo video it would be easier spitting at an attacker as its range is so short.

Hi Robdog

The spray is only available direct to the qualified person, each can is serial numbered to the person to whom it was issued. (stored on a database)

Its so that if used when a crime is in progress (e.g. GBH/Theft) the DNA in that can, which is unique, can be traced to the individual who sprayed them (witnessed the crime), hence a useful piece of kit for us and the Police and CPS in bringing some of these slipery offenders to justice.

You can buy foam sprays which just dye people, on the net but whats the point in that you won't get a conviction from it and they are not ACPO Association of Chief Police Officers stamped/approved. So its a bit pointless using the non official jobs. (like guns with blanks

We will, as well as a host of other training professionals as above, be offering the course once it is fully launched. (we are in North Wales, also have wheels will travel )

Hope that helps
