        abstract = {This project focuses on designing, analzsing, and fabricating an anti-riot shield that includes a pepper-spray system and a blinding LED for non-lethal crowd control. The main aim of the work is to give police and security personnel better protection while also providing a safe way to manage aggressive crowds. The shield is made using lightweight polycarbonate material, which is strong enough to resist high impacts and easy to handle during field operations. Basic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is carried out to study the stress, deformation, and safety of the shield when it is hit by external forces. An Arduino-based circuit is used to operate the servo motor for pepper spray and to control the high-brightness LED. The prototype is fabricated using simple and low-cost components so that it can be used easily in real situations. Testing shows that the shield can handle impact loads while also helping officers control crowds without causing serious injuries. Overall, this project provides an improved, safer, and more practical solution for modern riot-control needs.},
