Police chemical agent instructors started Tear Gas Resources in 2007 for police officers. Tear Gas Resources staff have a combined 90+ years of experience in the actual deployment of NON-LETHAL CHEMICAL AGENTS in a tactical environment. This makes Tear Gas Resources one of the leading assets for information about tear gas, new tear gas products and tear gas training. The principals have been instructing police officers for over 30 years in the tactical deployment and teaching methods of chemical agents.

Our goal is to encourage innovative thinking, whether to develop products that help the police tactical team of every level of ability reach their potential, in the use of non-lethal chemical agents. We are innovators and teachers. We offer products that you might not find in other places.
