Riot Control

Riot control refers to the measures and tactics used by law enforcement or military personnel to manage and disperse large crowds that are engaged in violent or unruly behavior. This can include protests that escalate into riots. Techniques may involve using non-lethal weapons, such as tear gas or water cannons, and strategic formations to maintain order. The goal is to restore peace while minimizing injury to both the public and officers. Riot control involves a balance of enforcing the law and respecting individuals' rights to assemble and express dissent peacefully.
