TASER EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
(Nervous System Stun vs NMI)
Sensory Nervous System - ANSWER-Brings information into the brain (affected by
stun systems)
TASER training does NOT require a CEW exposure for user certification or instructor
certification - ANSWER-TRUE
Proper support for voluntary exposure - ANSWER-Two spotters to prevent fall, or
place face down on mat prior to exposure.
Each spotter should hold up an upper arm of the standing volunteer under the
armpit.
The Positive Safety Lock - ANSWER-Designed to prevent the safety switch from
switching into the armed position and draining the Performance Power Magazine
(PPM).
The X26P Constantly Measures it's output pulse by pulse to optimize the delivered
charge to increase the likelihood of MMI - ANSWER-TRUE
If you hold the trigger back the X26P will NOT continue to discharge after the 5
second cycle until you release the trigger as long as there is sufficient battery charge
- ANSWER-FALSE
The 5 kinds of Performance Power Magazines (PPM) - ANSWER-XPPM
TPPM
PPM
APPM
Taser Cam HD
Spark Functionality Test - ANSWER-- A full 5 second test should be conducted once
every 24 hrs or prior to the start of your shift
- Check that device is sparking
- Check the battery status
- Check the CID to ensure there are no fault icons
- Be aware of potential stress memory concerns of deactivating CEW in field use too
quickly
- Follow agency protocol
Taser Cartridges are available in the M26, X26, X26P. The cartridges range from: -
ANSWER-15 ft
21 ft
25 ft
, CID - ANSWER-Critical Fault Icon
on the CID the stop sign shows: - ANSWER-Critical Issue
The CEW will still function under critical fault and does not have to be returned via
the RMA process - ANSWER-False
the 4th amendment Standard via Graham v Conner says: - ANSWER-an officer's
force must be objectively reasonable under the totality of circumstances as
reasonably perceived by the officer at the moment the force is used.
Do NOT use the CEW for: - ANSWER-verbal defiance
belligerence
punishment
horse play
Following CEW targeting guidelines, when feasible, avoid - ANSWER-the chest and
splitting the beltline for close-range shots.
Do NOT use the 5-second window of opportunity to restrain and cuff under power. -
ANSWER-FALSE
Avoid repeated or continuous CEW exposures unless necessary to counter
immediate threat. - ANSWER-TRUE
Monitor subject post CEW use. As with any use of force, if subject is unresponsive,
initiate EMS/CPR protocols - ANSWER-TRUE
Cardiac risks key factors - ANSWER-Dart-to-heart distances
Amount of delivered electrical charge
CEW cardiac risks are zero - ANSWER-False
How do you reduce cardiac risk - ANSWER-Avoid targeting the chest
Avoid repeated or continuous exposure
Target the back
CEWs may produce effects that could increase the risk of sudden death, including
changes in: - ANSWER-Blood Chemistry
Blood Pressure
Respiration
Heart Rate and Rhythm
Adrenaline and Stress Hormones
The longer the CEW exposure does NOT change the potential effects. - ANSWER-
FALSE
You should use reasonable efforts to minimize the number and duration of CEW
exposures. - ANSWER-TRUE
