Observing Human Rights and Ethical Practices are now necessary requirements when equipping and training modern intervention forces. When trying to disperse crowds, manage riots, extract hostages or in domestic disputes, there are numerous non-lethal options now available. Public Safety has to be maintained at all times.

Civil Defence Supply has been involved in researching and developing a wide selection of Less Lethal devices and their associated training programmes to fit the right technology into the best operational context of use.

Less Lethal includes various kinetic impact devices such as Bean Bags and other energetics; chemical devices in the form of sprays, foams and liquids; lasers to dazzle and disorientate; bright light including strobes (DRAGON strobe – see Restricted link); CED’s; pyrotechnic and non-pyrotechnic distraction; malodourants and sound.

On-going Civil Defence Supply scientific work and shared resources with partners worldwide ensures the very latest options are now available to our clients.
