Taser/Pepper Spray Compatability

When it comes down to subduing a suspect, police officers have an arsenal to choose from, but they have to make sure that their efforts don’t react negatively with what other officers on the scene are doing.

It seems that a spark from the electronic control device (ECD) called the taser can ignite a flammable component of the pepper spray.

Fox Pepper Sprays are ECD/taser compatible.

The Fox labs Hard Case Keychain is one of the most popular sprays we carry.
