AMMAN, Jordan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) is the premier training center in the Middle East for police, military, and special operations. In KASOTC’s continuous vision and mission to be at the forefront of integrating training and technology within the region and the world, it is pleased to announce that it has strategically partnered with PepperBall® to create a customized non-lethal training course for the police, military and security forces worldwide. PepperBall®, a division of United Tactical Systems, LLC, is the world’s leader in non-lethal .68 OC and CS systems.
The KASOTC Non-Lethal PepperBall® course consists of a three day weapons, tactics and armorers’ training course.
