Q

General Safety Principle

A
  1. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
  2. Be conscious of where the muzzle of your firearm is pointed at all times (Never allow the muzzle of your firearm to cover another human being unless it is required by your duties as a police officer).
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger and on the receiver until your sights are on the target and you have decided to fire; and
  4. Be sure of your target. (Know what it is, what is in line with it and what is behind it. Never fire at anything you have not positively identified)

T7 Preferred Target Zones
The back is the most preferred target area when reasonably practicable because it contains larger muscle groups and reduces risk of hitting sensitive body areas. The front of the body is the secondary target zone
24
Criterion to Draw and Cover with CEW
Do not draw your Taser, point it, or aim it unless you consider you are likely to be justified in using it. Where circumstances dictate the drawing of a Taser from the holster to cover a subject, the Taser must be immediately armed upon removal from the holster by moving the safety switch to the (Fire) position.
25
Taser Use Restriction
Against a mental health patient solely to make them submit to medication or treatment
26
Taser should not be used unless exceptional circumstances
* against a subject who is handcuffed * against a female(s) suspected on reasonable grounds of being pregnant * on an elderly or disabled subject(s) * on a small child or subject(s) of particularly small body mass * against the driver of a vehicle or the operator of machinery where there is a danger of the vehicle or machinery becoming out of control and posing a risk to the occupant(s) and/or bystander(s) * Fleeing should not be the sole justification for using a Taser against a subject. * Drive Stun for pain compliance
27
The Taser 7 shuts down the output of the Taser after each ???second cycle and contains a built-in speaker that alerts the operator to the impending shut down.
