Less-Lethal vs Non-Lethal Less-lethal force encompasses the entire use of force spectrum up to, but excluding, deadly force. According to the National Institute of Justice, there are seven types of less lethal device technologies: • Conducted Energy Devices—encompasses TASERs, stun guns and stun belts • Directed Energy Devices—radiated energy to achieve same effect as blunt force, with lower likelihood of injury • Chemicals—pepper spray (OC), tear gas and stink bombs • Distraction—laser dazzlers, bright lights or noise • Vehicle-Stopping Technology—equipment that stops cars during high-speed chases • Barriers—nets, foams and other physical barriers • Blunt Force—projectiles in crowd-control to deter certain actions Each tool is designed to mitigate harm while allowing law enforcement to gain control over a situation. Depending on agency policy and the unique situation, officers may choose which less lethal tool to utilize.
