Q

SO 1-01 An individual exposed to pepper mace will be treated for the exposure as soon as he/she
becomes manageable, according to what procedures

A

The exposed individual should be taken to a secure location and permitted to thoroughly wash his/her face and eyes with cold water for several minutes to neutralize the effects of the pepper mace. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WARM OR HOT WATER BE USED, SINCE THIS WILL INTENSIFY THE SYMPTOMS. If water is not available, the person should be exposed to fresh air.

In cases of extreme exposure, the person will be taken directly to the City Justice Center and allowed to take a cold shower. Arrangements will be made by the arresting officer to provide the person with a change of clothing. Persons exposed to pepper mace will not be allowed to shower at any Patrol Division.

An officer will not remove contact lenses from the eyes of a person who has been exposed to pepper mace. The person may remove his/her own contact lenses, or, if necessary, EMS personnel will be contacted to remove the person’s lenses. Once removed, the contact lenses will be packaged and held until the subject is released from place of confinement (e.g., City Justice Center, hospital). The owner must be informed that, because he/she was exposed to pepper mace, the lenses are no longer usable and that placing them in the eyes will result in a return of the symptoms of the pepper mace exposure. The officer will indicate in his/her report that the owner was so informed.

EMS should be called immediately for medical assistance, if an individual exposed to pepper mace exhibits breathing difficulties, blistering, or if the symptoms of pepper mace exposure persist.
