GRPD issues new tool for De-escalation

Under the leadership of Chief Andy Morgan, the Grand Rapids Police Department recently introduced PepperBall® for use by patrol officers, providing them with more options to safely deescalate tense situations. PepperBall® is the world's most trusted non-lethal law enforcement solution - combining launchers and projectiles to safely de-escalate conflicts and save lives. The PepperBall® system gives officers time and distance to assess and respond to critical situations and reduces the risk and likelihood of resorting to lethal force. PepperBall’s range of non-lethal products are designed to provide effective self-defense without the risks associated with firearms. Chief Morgan sees PepperBall® as a key resource for reducing the risk of injury to both officers and civilians while keeping confrontations under control.
