RiotID

Riot Control Agents are allowed under the Chemical Weapons Convention for domestic law enforcement purposes and are used around the world.

Knowing how to identify riot control weapons can help you medically respond, monitor human rights violations, challenge use of force abuses, and identify manufacturer and country of origin of these devices.

The RiotID project consists of a series of guides to understanding different riot control weapons and their effects, as well as a board game about documenting evidence on use of force violations.

For support with identification send your images to @RiotID using the hashtag #RiotID.
