51020.15.2 Chemical Agent Use During Controlled Use of Force – Large Area

• During a controlled use of force in larger areas such as rotundas, small management yards, large holding cells, segregated housing unit exercise yards, etc., departmentally approved chemical agents may be used in accordance with the Restricted DOMDepartment Operations Manual, Section 55050 – Armory, Armed Posts, and Weapons, and applicable training. In these situations, dependent on the size of the area, number of inmates involved, and complexity of the incident, it may be necessary to administer chemical agents in a larger quantity and more frequently than would occur during a controlled use of force in a small space.
