Barberton, Ohio – Video is going viral which shows a group of high school kids getting pepper sprayed as part of a Criminal Science Technology class (video below.) Prior to the being sprayed with the OC (pepper) spray, all students and their parents signed a waiver. The waiver included an explanation from Chief Milford: Dear Parent(s) or Guardian, On Friday, May 12, 2017, as part of our defensive tactics training that we have covered this year, I will introduce the use and effects of law enforcement OC “Pepper Spray” to the students. Each student will have the option to be swabbed or receive a quick “burst” to the facial area with this chemical agent. It will cause irritation and a burning sensation to the eyes and nasal area for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. This is a controlled and safe experience for the students and is completely voluntary. Please sign your option below and return the form by Monday, May 8, 2017. Thank you, Chief Milford Getting a
