Pepper Spray Information
Pepper
spray (also known as OC spray from "Oleoresin
Capsicum", OC gas, or capsicum spray) is a lachrymatory agent (a
chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and
even temporary blindness) that is used in riot control, crowd control
and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs. The active
ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived
from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including
chillis.
The
HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) method is used to measure
the amount of capsaicin within pepper sprays. Scoville Heat Unit (SHU)
testing is also used to measure the hotness of pepper spray, but this
is a subjective test which changes from person to person and does not
measure the actual chemical percentage within the product.
Pepper
spray typically comes in canisters, which are
often small enough to be carried or concealed in a pocket or purse.
Pepper spray can also be bought concealed in items such as rings.
Pepper spray is an inflammatory agent, not an irritant like Mace.
It
causes immediate closing of the eyes and coughing. The length of the
effects depend on the strength of the spray but the average full effect
lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes, with mitigated effects
lasting for hours.
Wake
Up Call
Sharon
is a top executive in a fast growing company. Her position requires her
to travel a lot. She drives to her destination and usually stays in a
local hotel. She never really gives much thought to the hotel she
chooses, if it looks all right she is satisfied.
One morning about 2 A.M. There was a knock on her hotel room door. The
person was a male who claimed to be hotel security. He said that
someone from her room had called about a suspicious person and he was
there to investigate.
Sharon thought, I never made any phone call. She yells out let me call
the front desk to verify that they sent you. She soon heard what
sounded like someone running out of the entrance doors to her hallway.
Sharon reported the incident and found out that there were similar
incidents in other hotels in that area and a woman had been assaulted
the night before. Sharon began choosing her hotels very carefully.
Traveling over the highway is a way of life for most Americans. If you
are like most of us traveling to some destination is an essential part
of your life. We prepare for the trip with painstaking care, but what
about our living quarters along the way?
Visiting family in other parts of the country, vacations or business
are among the top reasons we travel. With travel comes the inseparable
problem of finding adequate and safe lodging. Do not assume that
because a Hotel has a famous name it will be totally safe.
Most hotel owners make it their business to provide safe and
accommodating rooms. For added safety, the patron must add his/her own
brand of awareness to the mix. You should never assume that a hotel has
your personal security at the top of there to do list. Taking
precautions will give you piece of mind and help ensure you and your
family safety.
When you choose a hotel, you should take the time to look at features
other than its conveince. Consider the parking lot, surrounding
businesses and the area in general. Look for a parking lot that is well
lit and secure. When it comes to choosing a hotel smaller is
smarter.
You want the staff to be familiar with you and your guest and beware of
those who are just loitering with possible criminal intent. Sometimes
perpetrators hang around looking for the best victims. If someone
raises suspicion the desk clerk can notify inhouse security.
Choose hotels on well trafficked streets. If possible the street should
have patrons most of the time. Therefore, if you do fall into a
situation there will be plenty of people that will hear a noise and
bring help. Restaurants, late night stores are a good indication that a
street is well trafficked.
You can get your best information from hotel employees, but if they
work in reservations, their information may not be as reliable for the
need to make sales. Restaurant employees may be able to tell you if it
is safe to venture out at certain times.
Two enemies of criminals are time and difficulty. If there are
undesirables in the area, they will be looking for the easiest victims
and the most secluded place. A reception desk near the entrance, and/or
the elevators, is more likely to deter nonguest undesirables.
There should be privacy for guests checking in: no one should be able
to overhear a name, room number, or other personal information. Room
numbers should be written on the key envelope, not mentioned aloud or
inscribed on the key this way, anyone finding your key won't have
access to your room.
