Introduction to Riot Control System
Riot control is used by police, military or other security forces to control or arrest people involved in riots, protests and demonstrations. Riot can be spontaneous or planned. If it is spontaneous, it can be controlled by instructions in loud tone which can stop the people doing it and if it is planned, it can be controlled by using lethal weapons such as tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and electric tasers.
Most of the riot control agents frequently use non-lethal weapons such as water cannons, police dogs, armored vehicles, aerial surveillance and long range acoustic devices to control the riot and protest while trying to avoid the use of lethal weapons. The control agents typically wear protective equipment such as riot helmet, body armors, gas masks, face visors and riot shields.
