What the petition asks
Parliament should authorise Security and Industry Authority (SIA) trained persons to carry CS/PAVA spray and ASP/ARNOLD batons with additional training via the SIA.
Due to knife crime and marauding persons carrying knives who are stabbing innocent persons, to allow trained members of society to be able to carry CS/PAVA spray and ASP/ARNOLD batons to protect innocent persons in society and to be able to use justified and proportionate force to stop the persons causing mass harm. This would be by training persons who already hold an SIA licence to have further training.
