The aim of this Project is to examine the following: - i) Non-lethal equipment/ammunition being used by the Police Forces ii) Shortfall of non-lethal weapons, the reasons and solutions iii) Efficacy of the various equipments in actual situation. iv) Need of other equipment to be inducted in the Forces. v) Evaluation of problems faced by State Police Forces in controlling agitation and solutions thereof. vi) Study of existing non-lethal weapons and their use in the actual field conditions. vii) Study of the new non-lethal equipment available in the market and their efficacy. viii) Simulation of various operational scenarios for implementation of non- lethal technologies. To ensure the wide range of field inputs/surveys about the crowd behavior, terrain geography and weather conditions in various States, Bureau had requested the research team to visit at least 10 States (J & K, Manipur, Assam, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab). Besides, team was also requested to interact with personnel of RAF at Hyderabad and CAPFs deployed in Srinagar, Kolkata, Imphal and Guwahati. In order to ensure the quality of the study, the Bureau had decided to organize a national level workshop and demonstration of some of the selected new less lethal weapons and equipment on interim findings of the report. These workshops and demonstrations were organized at BSF Bhondsi, Firing Range and CRPF Academy Khadarpur on 12.09.2012 & 19.11.2012 respectively. During these workshops, one to one interactions and Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) were carried out with the personnel of State Police, CRPF, RAF and BSF at all the three levels – junior, middle and senior. The topic being a least studied area of research at least in the Indian context, larger emphasis had been placed on primary research and field data gathering. The contents of this report are merely guideline for law enforcement agencies as a ready reference.

    CS Gas (2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrole) General Information Key Points 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrole or “CS” is a white crystalline solid when pure it is used by UK police forces as a temporary incapacitant spray when released, CS gas will disperse into the atmosphere in a matter of minutes exposure to CS gas may cause intense tear production, eye pain, chest tightness, coughing and sneezing skin contact will lead to burning and stinging with possible redness and blistering treatment is rarely needed because people usually recover within 15-20 minutes physical injury to the eyes may occur if CS gas is sprayed directly into them at a very close range PHE publications gateway number: 2014790 Published: October 2018 Compendium of Chemical Hazards: CS Gas (2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrole) Public Health Questions What is CS gas and what is it used for? 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrole or “CS” is a white crystalline solid when pure. The substance causes irritation in humans and is used by UK police forces as a temporary incapacitant spray to subdue persons who pose a risk to themselves and/or the police officers and others in the vicinity. It may be dispersed in a smoke cloud or dissolved into liquid (e.g. the solvent methyl iso-butyl ketone) to be used as a spray. The CS spray carried by some UK police forces contains 5% 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrole. It is also used by the military in training operations and for testing gas masks. These substances may be referred to as CS or tear spray/gas (not to be confused with PAVA spray which is also be referred to as tear spray/gas).

Forensic Ballistics It is an application of science of ballistics to solve the problems related with shooting incident(where firearm is used). Firearms or guns Bullets/Pellets Cartridge cases Related Evidence Bullet holes Damaged bullet Gun shot wounds Gun shot residue Forensic Ballistics is divided into 3 sub-categories Internal Ballistics External Ballistics Terminal Ballistics Internal Ballistics The study of the phenomenon occurring inside a firearm when a shot is fired. It includes the study of various firearm mechanisms and barrel manufacturing techniques; factors influencing internal gas pressure; and firearm recoil . The most common types of Internal Ballistics examinations are: ✓ examining mechanism to determine the causes of accidental discharge ✓ examining home-made devices (zip-guns) to determine if they are capable of discharging ammunition effectively ✓ microscopic examination and comparison of fired bullets and cartridge cases to determine whether a particular firearm was used External Ballistics The study of the projectile’s flight from the moment it leaves the muzzle of the barrel until it strikes the target. The Two most common types of External Ballistics examinations are: calculation and reconstruction of bullet trajectories establishing the maximum range of a given bullet Terminal Ballistics The study of the projectile’s effect on the target or the counter-effect of the target on the projectile.

  • Less Than Lethal Weapons
    PUBLIC ORDER MANAGEMENT Less Than Lethal Weapons UN Peacekeeping PDT Standards for Formed Police Units 1st edition 2015 Public Order Management 1 Less Than Lethal Weapons Background Before the inception of UN Peacekeeping mission, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations requests TCC/PCC to contribute with their forces to the strength of the mission. The UN Police component is composed by Individual Police Officers (IPO) and Formed Police Units (FPU). The deployment of FPU is subject to a Memorandum of Understanding between the UN and the contributing country and the compliance with the force requirements of the mission. The force requirement lists the equipment and the weapons that the FPU has to deploy with. Despite the fact ‘Guidelines on the Use of Force by Law Enforcement Agencies’ recommends the development and the deployment of less than lethal weapons and ammunitions, FPUs usually do not possess this type of equipment. Until the development of less-lethal weapons, police officers around the world had few if any less-lethal options for riot control. Common tactics used by police that were intended to be non-lethal or less than lethal included a slowly advancing wall of men with batons. Considering the tasks the FPUs are demanded to carry out, those weapons should be mandatory as part of their equipment. The more equipped with these weapons FPUs are, the more they will be able to efficiently respond to the different type of threats and situation. Non-lethal weapons, also called less-lethal weapons, less-than-lethal weapons, non- deadly weapons, compliance weapons, or pain-inducing weapons are weapons intended to be used in the scale of Use of Force before using any lethal weapon.

  • Israel and the Occupied Territories 2015 Human Rights Report
    ISRAEL 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, the parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The nationwide Knesset elections in March, considered free and fair, resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli- occupied Golan Heights.) During the year according to Israeli Security Agency (ISA, also known as Shabak) statistics, Palestinians committed 47 terror attacks (including stabbings, assaults, shootings, projectile and rocket attacks, and attacks by improvised explosive devices (IED) within the Green Line that led to the deaths of five Israelis and one Eritrean, and two stabbing terror attacks committed by Jewish Israelis within the Green Line and not including Jerusalem. According to the ISA, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other militant groups fired 22 rockets into Israel and in 11 other incidents either planted IEDs or carried out shooting or projectile attacks into Israel and the Golan Heights.
