‹ More and
more, local law
enforcement is
teaming with
the military or
National Guard
units to conduct
riot training.
Local LEOs
bring a better
understanding of
the communities,
and military
units bring
different tactics
and equipment
to the mix. With
this combination
of skills and
knowledge, both
agencies are
able to perform
their jobs
better. (Photo:

‹ Most major
metropolitan
police forces
(and many
from smaller
communities)
are equipped
and trained
to conduct
some kind of
riot-control
activities with
the goal of
protecting lives
and property
while also
minimizing
the impact of,
and on, rioting
crowds. (Photo:

‹ Local police in
riot gear use hot
pepper powder
balls, paint ball
markers, and
non-lethal or
less-lethal tools
to motivate
protestors to
move back.
Paint balls are
used to mark
suspected
leaders or
instigators in the
crowd for easy
identification
later. (Photo:
