I have been lurking on this board (and several others) for quite a while now. I am fairly new to bail enforcement, having worked part-time in this field for a little over a year.
I was recently certified in the use of O.C. spray and I have a question. If I ever have to use pepper spray in a self defense situation while apprehending a subject, I understand that I will need to either take the subject to the ER or call an ambulance so the subject can be decontaminated before the local jails will accept him or her. My question is: Who is responsible for the medical cost incurred? My instructor had
previously only worked with LEO's and private security companies and did not know the answer.
BTW, I check this forum at least once or twice a day, and feel like many of you are old (and well-respected) friends.
Can you tell me where I can become certified in O.C. spray as well.. I've read that even though it is legal in your state, this certification protects you against law suits.
