Pepper spray isn’t a welcome sight to anyone on the receiving end, but it’s both an effective and safe tool law enforcement officers can use to take down a perpetrator, instructors say. Ron Teeters and his son, Darron Teeters, of Huntsville, Texas, provided training Wednesday in Patterson for the JPX Centurion LE Pepper Gun to officers with the Patterson, Morgan City, Marksville and Central police departments, along with the Jeanerette and Ville Platte marshal’s offices. The father and son have traveled all around the world training law enforcement, and have trained close to 3,000 agencies just in the United States.
