During SWAT school, APD officers undergo controlled exposure to CS (tear) gas to achieve operational familiarity with its physiological and psychological effects. This first-hand experience ensures officers can accurately anticipate and respond to the reactions of individuals when CS gas is deployed during active scene management. As a non-lethal tactical tool, its use is critical for de-escalating volatile situations and protecting life and community safety. Join APD at APDRecruiting.org | Aust
