Study Notes
Description of Equipment
- The document pertains to the operational use of the Taser X2 CEW (Conducted Electrical Weapon).
- Encompasses electrical theory and modes of operation related to the Taser device.
Basic X2 CEW Electrical Theory / Modes of Operation
- Information on electrical systems and how the Taser operates to incapacitate a target.
Effects of the Taser
- Effects include neuromuscular incapacitation, which can disrupt voluntary muscle control.
- Potential health implications arise from its use, emphasizing a need for proper aftercare.
Issue / Possession
- Regulations detailing the lawful issuance and possession of the Taser by authorized personnel.
Specific Risk Factors
- Includes factors that may affect the use of Taser technology, relevant to scenarios and target demographics.
Training
- Officers must undergo comprehensive training procedures before operational deployment of the Taser.
- Training focuses on safe handling, operational procedures, and understanding the legal implications.
Operational Use
- Protocols dictate appropriate scenarios for Taser deployment, considering situational urgency and other available options.
- Officers must evaluate risks and potential impact on bystanders before deploying.
Oral and Visual Warnings
- Visual deterrent effect can be achieved by directing the Taser's laser sight at individuals.
- Clear verbal warning 'Taser, Taser' must be issued to alert those in proximity prior to discharge.
Aftercare
- Immediate medical examination and report required for individuals exposed to Taser discharge.
- Emphasis on monitoring sustained effects and potential injuries post-use.
Post Incident Procedures
- Specific protocols must be followed post-Taser discharge, including documentation and evidence collection.
- Evidence collection includes preserving cartridges, photographing incidents, and recovering medical reports.
Battery Maintenance
- Regular function checks of battery life on the Taser must be done.
- Batteries should be replaced once the display indicates 20% remaining power.
Data-port Auditing
- An internal logging system records details of the last 2000 activations, including time, duration, and discharge conditions.
- Data retrieval is essential for maintaining an audit trail on Taser usage.
