How to Protect Yourself During a Riot

Tensions are running high in America. Waves of protests began with the death of George Floyd and continue in cities across the country. Some protests are peaceful; others turn into riots. Protestors have blocked highways, damaged property, and looted stores nationwide. If you live in an area affected by riots, you are right to be concerned for your safety. A riot is a terrifying thing to experience. A natural response to the threat of riots is to protect yourself with personal protective equipment. Of course, most people don’t have riot gear just lying around the house. Before investing in protective equipment for yourself, learn about the various types of protective equipment available and how they can protect you during a riot. What Is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)? Personal protective equipment (PPE) is gear designed to protect an individual from harm. It’s a broad category that includes medical equipment and military-grade gear. Medical PPE includes items such as face masks, face shields, and surgical gloves. Medical PPE protects the wearer from pathogens and potential infection. But if you find yourself in a riot, you want to protect yourself from physical attack. When choosing PPE gear for a riot, it is important to think about what type of violence you might be exposed to, then choose gear designed with that in mind. Potential Threats at a Riot Police trying to control a riot have a variety of non-lethal weapons they can use against a crowd. But non-lethal weapons still cause a lot of pain and potentially long-lasting damage. Tools that the police have at their disposal include rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas, flash bang grenades, and long-range acoustic devices. Each of these targets the body in a different way, so it requires a different type of protection. Rubber bullets: Rubber bullets are still bullets. Protect yourself with a bulletproof vest and ballistic helmet and face shield. Tear gas or pepper spray: Protect your eyes with shatterproof goggles (also great for protecting your eyes from rubber bullets and flashbang grenades). Long sleeves and pants should protect your skin from irritants. Flash bang grenades: The flashes of blinding light and loud sound from a flash band grenade can shatter plastic, which can then hit you in the eye. Shatterproof goggles can protect your eyes. Ear plugs can protect your ears from the noise, but might be impractical during a riot. Long-range acoustic devices:The sound from these devices can cause short-term and long-term hearing loss. Construction-grade ear protection is your best defense but, again, may not be practical. A riot also poses the threat of being in close contact with a crowd of unruly, violent people. There are many PPE gear options for more full-body protection. You can protect specific areas of your body by using pieces such as thigh/groin protectors, knee/shin guards, forearm/elbow protectors, and more. Full-body riot suits are another option for total protection. The coronavirus is a persistent concern in any situation where you are in close contact with other people. In addition to riot gear, continue to wear personal protective equipment that protects against viral particles. Face masks and shields are a good supplement to any other PPE you choose to wear in case of riot. If you are interested in purchasing protective equipment to use in case of a riot, you may not know where to start. Check out the selection of PPE available at Security Pro USA. We have everything you need to protect your body during a riot.

72 Hour Bug Out Bag Guide - Advice for Surviving 3 Days

The Top 10 Items to Keep In Your Bug Out Bag No matter how prepared you are for an emergency situation, you must face the fact that your home may not always remain a safe place for your family to be. When faced with the prospect of bugging out, you may find yourself needing to make the decision on a moment's notice. Here are the 10 most important items to keep in your 3 day assault bag. Survival Food and Water You will need one gallon of water per person per day, and a supply of non-perishable food for four meals a day per person in your bug out bag at all times. Check this periodically to keep it within expiration dates. Extra Batteries Regardless of the other items you may have in your 3 day assault bag, most of them won't do you any good unless you have plenty of spare batteries for them. Even though these devices may hold their battery lives for ages when not in use, assume that each device will need at least two fresh sets of batteries every day. Cell phones should have solar charging units. Radio When all else fails, your hand crank or solar powered radio will still be able to receive signals. A combination radio and NOAA emergency weather system is suggested, with a tone to warn you of dangerous situations. These are a crucial link to the outside world. First Aid Kit Chances are that you will be facing dangerous situations when forced to use your 3 day assault bag. Having a properly stocked first aid kit can be the difference between life and death. Your kit should include three days’ worth of prescriptions for every member of the household. Shelter in Place Gear When the call comes to shelter in place, you need to be ready for it. Your bug out bag should contain heavy duty face masks for every member of the family, along with plastic sheeting to cover doors and windows, and duct tape to seal the area off. Manual Can Opener This simple tool can be the difference between full stomachs and going hungry. All the non-perishable food in the world won't help if you can't get into it. Every 3 day assault kit should contain at least two manual can openers. Basic Survival Tools You will need to have basic tools on hand to ensure your family can meet its needs. This includes duct tape, hammer, nails, wrench, pliers, and a set of screw drivers. You will need a sharp pocket knife with accessories and two sources of flame for every member of your family. Light Source Sources of light are extremely important for any bug out bag, but make sure you have the necessary items to power them. Flashlights and lanterns require batteries, and candles require matches. Make certain solar units that can charge in only a few hours and will provide useable light once the darkness settles in. Signals You need multiple ways of signaling for help or rescue in your bug out bag. A signal whistle will grant the audible attention that you need, but not visual. Strobe LED lights make for a good visual marker, as do emergency flares. White and red shirts make good flags for daylight attention. Personal Sanitation Items When you've got to go, you need to have the items you need to keep your family sanitary on the move. Garbage bags and plastic ties are recommended, along with moist towelettes. Hand sanitizer, tooth paste, and soap are a must, along with a hair brush and tooth brush for every family member.

How to Choose the Right Pepper Spray: All You Need To Know

SecPro Advanced Police Strength OC Pepper Spray w/ Lighted Ballistic Stream (Level III) In a perfect world we would have no need to defend ourselves from outside aggression. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. Here are some grim facts: Rape occurs every 5 minutes. 1 out of 3 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. Assault occurs every 10 seconds. Robbery occurs every 46 seconds. 1 in 5 families will be a victim of crime each year. 4.5 million dog attacks occur each year. There are many reasons that you should carry a personal defense weapon rather than a conventional weapon. Pepper spray is a non-lethal weapon. The effects wear off in 30 to 45 minutes giving you ample time to get away and/or secure the attacker. Also, because it is non-lethal, you will be less likely to wait until the situation is beyond critical to use it. This also lessens the chance of the weapon being taken away and used against you. Another reason to use pepper spray instead of conventional weapons is that the pattern is a very wide 'shotgun' pattern so it is not necessary for a great amount of training and practice to be accurate and effective with its use. Most of these reasons also apply to the outdoorsman who will be using the product against animal attacks. Pepper sprays have been proven to be more effective than hand guns against aggressive animals. Also, most human/animal confrontations occur within the boundaries of state or national parks where firearms are forbidden. Another favorable aspect of pepper spray is that it can be kept in a readily accessible place. If your children happen to get their hands on it and accidentally discharge it, the worst that can happen is a period of discomfort. But that will pass, unlike what can happen with a firearm. What is OC? O.C. (short for oleoresin capsicum) is the oily extract produced by distilling hot red peppers of the Capsicum genus. It is comprised primarily of; (1) carotenoids, the red pigment found in many vegetables, (2) vegetable oils and (3) capsaicinoids, the compounds responsible for pungency. There are over 15 capsaicinoid compounds found in O.C. The one primarily responsible for the

Bomb Blankets, for when you really, really need a security blanket

Linus had his security blanket, and modern law enforcement and security personnel now have one too - the bomb blanket. A bomb blanket is a flexible pad, similar to a very heavy blanket, that can serve a variety of purposes but its primary use is to mitigate the blast and shrapnel associated with an explosive device. Before we look at these tools, let’s take a minute to discuss the impacts of an explosion. Explosions have two primary effects that create damage, particularly for vulnerable targets, like humans. First is the actual blast. The blast, and resulting concussion of an explosion has many impacts on the human body. One of the most common effects is called “blast lung” where the lungs are damaged from the high-pressure wave of a high explosive blast. Other parts of the body that contain gases, such as the bowels and GI tract can also be damaged by the blast. This can cause perforations, bleeding and other assorted problems. Head, eye, and ear injuries are also common from high pressure blasts. Another type of injury from explosions are the well-recognized effects of shrapnel. Shrapnel can be a deliberate part of an explosion, such as a pipe bomb with nails, ball bearings, and other metal fragments enclosed or attached. The Boston Marathon bombers deliberately placed metal items in their bombs for the shrapnel effect. Additionally, shrapnel can be an indirect and perhaps unintended consequence of an explosion. For example, an explosive device placed inside a car, may, in the outburst of pressure, create shrapnel from the car body or other car parts. Shrapnel can be just as deadly as the concussive blast from an explosive device. Law Enforcement agencies frequently get calls of a “suspicious object” where someone has left a backpack, suitcase, or other object in a conspicuous place, where the reporting party might be concerned the object is more than it appears. We are all familiar with the warnings at Airports, to report unattended baggage. The reason for this is simple. These are easy ways to disguise an explosive device. Invariably, a first responder would arrive, look at the suspicious item, then make a decision or call a line level supervisor to determine the next steps. So, what can the average agency do to mitigate such risks? A bomb technician or bomb squad will most likely be needed to respond and examine any real suspicious device. But such response is often very delayed as the team assembles and responds, with all the necessary gear. How can the public, and first responders, be better protected in the interim? Obviously clearing a wide area is in order, but what else can be done? The answer is both simple, and relatively inexpensive. The answer is a bomb blanket. A bomb blanket is small, lightweight, and flexible. It is easy to pack in the trunk of a car and can be man portable to a scene with ease. Once on scene, the blanket is placed over the suspicious device. A bomb blanket is affordable and portable insurance. Security Pro USA sells both bomb blankets and carrying bags that could easily be brought to the scene by the initial responder, then placed over the object while decisions are made and a response is coordinated. This, in addition to the safe space, would mitigate the possible damage and injury any blast might cause. In this use, the bomb blanket is all about blast containment. But bomb blankets are more than just EOD equipment. For example, I have worked for agencies that used the blanket as both an EOD blanket and for ballistic protection. A bomb blanket can be placed over a more porous object, like a car door, to provide not just blast protection, but also ballistic protection. A bomb blanket can be used as an ad hoc shelter for an active shooter response. To button hole the bomb blanket as just EOD equipment is to ignore its flexibility in both use and construction. Anywhere ballistic or blast protection might be needed, a bomb blanket can be deployed. So, if you find your agency needs a little added security, consider the bomb blankets. They can be very reassuring to have around.
