Abstract
battlefields of Europe. The fact that they were made available to police forces rather than remaining in the hands of the Army meant that tear gas could be used on civilians in the cities of the United States without calling for the intervention of federal troops. The circumstances surrounding the transfer of this weapon from the military to local police forces are the subject of this study. Factors in the transfer included instances of military rivalry, changing attitudes of government leaders toward chemical warfare, the enterprise of several individuals in starting companies to supply tear gas munitions to police departments, and the support given these firms by the Chemical Warfare Service of the United States Army.
