The shield is designed as a multi-person shield and can be used by a plurality of security officers to shield their bodies, such that when one or more protestors touch a front surface of the shield, a non-lethal electric shock is administered to the protestor's body to deter the protestor or rioter. The shield can be held in front of the officers' bodies by grasping the insulated handles disposed on a rear surface of the device and an electric supply is provided to a metal plate from an integrated battery for providing the electric shock. A trigger is actuated to enable the electric supply to the metal plate and the trigger can be actuated when the metal plate is pushed or touched by a protestor.
