Page 41 - Speciality Impact Munitions-Less Lethal Intro

Deployment Strategies

• Civil Disturbance / Riot Control

• Crowd disbursement and area denial.
• Targeting a specific individual who is
providing motivation or instigating civil

disorder.
• Anti-Looting

• Using SIMs in a riot situation should be apart
of an escalation of force philosophy. Other less
lethal measures such as chemical agents may be
explored first.

Storage and Disposal

• The standard shelf life of SIMs is 5 years if

stored at the proper temperature and
humidity range.

• Poor storage conditions will significantly
reduce the shelf life of SIMs.

• The munitions that have surpassed the 5

year shelf life should be only used in
training.
