The ASP Defender LE MK-3 stream OC spray with UV dye (ASP part no. 54970) is a law enforcement pepper spray canister built on a 1.4% major capsaicinoid formula, which ASP describes as the most potent among leading law enforcement brands. The Defender LE line was designed and tested by ASP’s own law enforcement team and is made in the USA. This MK-3 canister delivers its OC as a stream, and UV dye is added to aid in perpetrator identification. The actuator has a flip-top safety, and the spray is Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) safe. It is a duty-style canister with the labeling and safety features agencies look for.
