Who is the First Defence Mk3 .4% issued to?

The First Defence Mk3 .4% is specifically issued to uniformed police because they require reliable and effective means of non-lethal force to manage situations that may escalate. This device is intended primarily for law enforcement use, enabling officers to diffuse potentially dangerous circumstances without resorting to lethal weapons. Uniformed police are trained to recognize when to use such tools, ensuring that they apply appropriate levels of force in a variety of situations, such as crowd control or during arrests where suspects may be non-compliant.

While security personnel might also use similar devices, the issuance of the First Defence Mk3 specifically targets uniformed police because of their need to maintain public safety and enforce the law in a responsible, controlled manner. Other groups, such as private citizens, typically do not receive this type of equipment due to regulations surrounding the use of such defensive tools. Undercover agents, although they might benefit from similar protective measures, have different operational needs that do not align with the standard issuance of this device, as their work does not usually involve uniformed presence.
