Law Enforcement students at Western Dakota Tech will take part in pepper spray exposure and training at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16, at WDT.

WDT invites the media to attend.

Each year, law enforcement students in the first year of the program experience pepper spray training. After being sprayed, students will experience sinus cavity drainage, swollen and tearing eyes, and burning skin while they complete a series of tasks. 

NOTE: The event will produce excellent video/photo opportunities.
