1. What makes your defense spray superior to what we are currently
using now?
One word, RANGE. The
most critical aspect of personal safety is maintaining as great
a distance as possible from an adversary. DPS X-Stream Range Defense
Sprays have the longest range in the industry. Our documented ranges
are as follows:
4 oz. Stream 20'
3 oz. Foam 10'
2 oz. Stream 17'
2 oz. Fog 10'
1/2 oz. Keychain 15'
2. With Taser’s becoming popular, why consider your
spray?
Taser’s provide excellent capabilities and have unparalleled
success. But sharp criticism of its use in those conditions on lower
levels on the use of force continuum has seriously tarnished the
professional image of the police officer. OC Defense Sprays have
been an accepted tool for more than 15 years. But the range of Defense
Sprays has been a major concern for application. Our X-Stream Range
Defense Sprays have virtually the same effective range as a Taser
with multiple adversary capabilities.
3. Is your spray as effectively hot as the competition?
Yes. Every manufacturer flaunts their spray is hotter than
others. There is much more to an effective spray than million S.H.U’s
numbers. A viable, safe formulation that works is more important.
We use the finest OC extract as well as a proprietary formulation
that dissolves the oils and acids on the skin allowing rapid access
into the pores. Our spray is Taser safe with a non-flammable delivery
system. The result is a superior, effective formulation that will
impress anyone who tests it.
4. What about cost factors?
Budgets are always a major consideration and cost of the
use of equipment per incident affects operational finances. The
cost of one (1) cartridge for a Taser is $20.to $25 per person per
incident. The cost of one (1) application of our X-Stream Range
Defense Sprays is less $1.86 per person per incident. This effectively
provides a minimum of eight (8) applications for an average total
cost of $14.95 per canister with the capability of using applications
on eight or more adversaries.
5. What about department liability protection?
DPS was co-founded by the most recognized OC expert and
instructor in the United States today, Thomas J Archambault. In
1990 he developed the first non-manufacturer specific OC instructor
certification course in the nation. In addition, he was the Executive
Director of Training of the oldest and largest defense spray company
in the world for three years during the national OC spray years
(1993-1996) and assisted with the development of pepper foam, various
formulations and spray delivery systems. To date he has trained
more than 9000 OC instructors and not once has his program ever
been the subject of a lawsuit. Tom’s program was used by the
I.A.C.P. national test study of OC by officers that he trained in
Maryland in 1991. He testified before the U.S. States Congress on
the use of chemical agents at Waco as well countering two A.C.L.U.
studies with rebuttal factual information.
DPS has one of the highest insurance liability protection plans
in the industry at $2 million dollars. Departments that adopt DPS
X-Stream Range Defense Sprays will be able to receive cost-free*
TJA/DPS 5 year Instructor certification with backed-in-court protection.
*course requires regional schools with minimum participant attendance
and will be certified by TJA Use of Force Training, Inc..
6. Do we need to change holsters for your spray?
NO. Our canisters are of the same size as the most popular
units and will fit in most holsters. We offer ½ oz, 2-3-4
oz canisters all with flip top spray design as well as 1 pound magnum
units. DPS X-Stream Range Defense Sprays additionally come in stream,
fog and foam formulations all with the longest range and distance
available in the OC industry today.
7. Will your company support our Department?
We offer 24 hour, 7-day a week total support for your department
for ordering and supplies. In addition, we support OC use of force
incident review for potential court situations as well as review
and assistance of policy/procedures for OC use and applications.
Whether in individual and/or crowd control street conditions for
law enforcement as well as correctional conditions in facilities.
No other Defense Spray manufacturer provides this type of support
with established national credibility.
8. Can our department OC training officer speak with you?
Absolutely and we recommend it! We will fully assist your
department and discuss your current spray usage, training certification
program, and make cost effective recommendations on use of defense
sprays for various divisions/assignments of your officers as well
as tactical operations. Our commitment to your department goes far
beyond the sale defense sprays.
