They're playing a lot of recordings of the Capitol Police during the 1/6/2021 riot at the hearings today, and officers in really extreme situations are shouting "DSO" a lot. I couldn't find anything online. Thanks for your help.

although she wasn't 100% certain. She said it was a call for the LE units that are trained for riot control and have the proper equipment like tear gas, pepper spray, etc.
