I asked myself - "What's stopping you? What's stopping you from being the change you want to see in the world?"That's why I came to work at PepperBall. The intent is clear and true. For every PepperBall that is fired, a bullet is not. Every time an officer uses PepperBall they are choosing to exercise a non-lethal option first. I believe in that option. I believe there are better ways to defend, to police, to manage. I believe that you can protect life while saving life. I believe we can make this world a safer place and PepperBall helps move us in that direction.
