Pennsylvania Troopers Will No Longer Carry Pepper Spray
Target 11 Investigator Rick Earle has learned that state police officers will no longer be allowed to carry pepper spray.
Earle reported that the decision came after several cadets suffered injuries during a training exercise. The cadets reportedly suffered eye injuries after exposure to the defense technology MK-4 pepper spray.
"A recent training exercise revealed that this pepper spray presents a significant risk of causing eye injuries to subjects who are exposed to this product," said state police Trooper Maria Finn.
