Description
The 40mm Direct Impact Round consists of a plastic body and a crushable foam nose that contains a powder payload. The crushable foam nose dissipates energy upon impact while releasing the powder payload. The 40mm is a “point-of-aim, pointof-impact” direct fire round that is most commonly used by tactical teams in situations where greater accuracy and deliverable energy is desired for the incapacitation of an aggressive, non-compliant subject at longer distances. The 40mm Direct Impact Round is intended for direct fire deployment. The 40mm Direct Impact Round will prove most successful for incapacitation when used within their optimal energy range of approximately 5–40 meters.

Purpose To safely resolve critical situations such as crowd control during riotous situations and high-risk tactical operations.

Authorized Use SWAT personnel,
Less Lethal trained personnel
Legal and
Procedural Rules
It is the policy of BHPD to utilize the 40mm only for official law enforcement purposes, and pursuant to State and Federal law, including those regarding use of force.

Description
The Ferret 40mm Round is non-burning and suitable for indoor use. Used primarily by tactical teams, it is designed to penetrate barriers, such as windows, hollow core doors, wallboard and thin plywood. Upon impacting the barrier, the nose cone ruptures and instantaneously delivers a small chemical payload inside of a structure or vehicle.

Purpose To safely resolve critical situations such as high-risk tactical operations. In a tactical deployment situation, the 40mm Ferret is primarily used to dislodge barricaded subjects from confined areas. Its purpose is to minimalize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects.

Description
Hexachloroethane (HC) smoke is discharged through four (4) gas ports located on top of the canister. Due to the high metal content, HC smoke is dark in comparison to Saf-Smoke™ that is utilized in all other Defense Technology® smoke devices (except the Large-Style Maximum Smoke Grenade). It is similar to the military-style grenade and incorporates a steel canister. Designed specifically for outdoor use in crowd management situations, the Maximum Smoke Grenade is a high volume, slow burning device that deploys large quantities of grey-white colored smoke for approximately 1.5 to 2 minutes. The device should be deployed utilizing wind advantage.

Purpose To safely resolve critical situations such as crowd control during riotous situations and high-risk tactical operations. It can be utilized as a carrying agent (multiplier) for smaller OC, CN or CS munitions, or for concealing the movement of agency personnel.

It may also be used as a distraction to focus attention away from other activities.

Description FLAMELESS TRI-CHAMBER CS GRENADE
Quantity 27 (previously 48) Authorized: 100
Capability Can be hand thrown, launched
Life Span 5-year manufacturer warranty
Manufacturer's
Description
The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is designed for indoor use.

This grenade’s pyrotechnic contents are burned within an internal can that is one of three in this design. The internal combustion allows the chemical-laden smoke to be released through three (3) ports on the outer canister side while safely containing any of the fire-producing properties within the two internal canisters. The fuze is shrouded to further protect surrounding materials from the possibility of fire. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade can be used in crowd control as well as tactical deployment situations by Law Enforcement and Corrections, but was designed with the barricade situation in mind. Its applications in tactical situations are primarily to detect and/or dislodge barricaded subjects.

Purpose The purpose of the Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects.

Authorized Use SWAT personnel

Description TRIPLE-CHASER SEPARATING CANISTER, CS
Quantity 48 (previously 76) Authorized: 100
Capability Can be hand thrown, launched
Life Span 5-year manufacturer warranty
Manufacturer's
Description
The Triple-Chaser Grenade is a fast burning, medium volume canister. It is a pyrotechnic grenade consisting of three (3) separate canisters pressed together with separating charges between each section. When deployed, this grenade will separate into three (3) distinct sub-munitions spaced approximately 20 feet apart – allowing increased area coverage in a short period of time, from one deployment. Designed specifically for outdoor use in crowd management situations, the Triple-Chaser utilizes the larger style canister, but is segmented into three (3) distinct submunitions. This device should be deployed in an underhand method that keeps the grenade body moving sideward towards the deployment site. This will assist in delivering the sub-canisters along a line, from left to right, well ahead of the grenadier. It’s separating function and relatively quick burn time minimizes throwback potential. The device should be deployed utilizing wind advantage.

Purpose To safely resolve critical situations such as crowd control during riotous situations and high-risk tactical operations.

Description
The Defense Technology OC Vapor Aerosol Grenade is for law enforcement and corrections use to deliver a high concentration of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) in a powerful mist. The grenade is designed for indoor use in confined areas and once deployed, inflames the mucous membranes and exposed skin resulting in an intense burning sensation. The incapacitating effect of the OC Vapor on the subject is dramatic yet requires minimal
decontamination. Removing the subject from the affected area to fresh air will resolve respiratory effects within minutes. The OC Vapor Aerosol Grenade is ideal for cell extractions or barricade situations where the use of pyrotechnic, powder or liquid devices is not practical or desired.
