• What are the preferred target areas for the Taser Answer - - Back, lower
abdominal,
• What are targets areas to avoid? Answer - - head, throat, breast, chest or
area of the heart, genitals, or known pre-existing injury areas without legal
justification
• Are there cumulative effects from longer Taser exposures Answer - - Blood
chemistry
- Blood pressure
- Respiration
- Heart rate and rhythm
- Adrenaline and stress hormones
• Are probe deployments the same effectiveness as drive stuns without probes
Answer - - No probe deployment will give you the best effect because the
charge is spread out throughout multiple muscle groups.
, • Is it safer to have a CEW exposure closer or further from the heart, or doesn't
it matter Answer - - Further from the heart to avoid a cardiac incident
• How can the need for more or longer CEW cycles be reduced Answer - shout
commands after delivering Taser to tell the subject what to do, deescalate
before the need for the Taser, warn the suspect before tasing them to comply/
stop resisting.
• What is the probability of a CEW causing or contributing to a cardiac arrest
Answer - - Risks are low, but not zero
• What term is currently used by Taser to describe the incapacitating effects of
a CEW Answer - - Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation
• What are important considerations when using a drive stun Answer - - For
maximum effectiveness, drive the CEW into certain pressure points
- Use care when applying the
drive stun to the neck or groin
- Stay away from the trachea, the back of the neck and the genitals
• What are required safety rules for CEW voluntary exposures Answer - -
Proper matting
- Clear area of bystanders and objects
- Make area safe
