TASER 2025 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALL CORRECT

TASER 2025 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALL CORRECT What is some information in relation to the wires of the CEW cartridge - Answer-- Wires are steel with insulated coating - Wires can break easily if stepped on or pulled - Inadvertent contact with wires or probe during discharge can result in electric shock - Taser operator should advise officers to avoid wires during arrest for wire integrity - Avoid crossing wires when multiple Taser devices are deployed What is the probe spread for the CEW - Answer-30cm spread for every 2.1m of travel Justification - Answer-- protect human life, - protect yourself or others where violent confrontation or violent resistance is occurring or imminent, - protect an officer/s in danger of being overpowered or to protect themselves or another person from the risk of actual bodily harm, or - protection from animals. The following practices have been identified as hazardous: - Answer-• Incorrect storage of CEW and cartridges • Accidental discharges • Covering the lens on TaserCAM Before discharging the CEW the following Tactical Considerations should be considered: - Answer-• The type of clothing the subject is wearing • Do not rely solely on the Laser sighting system • Secondary Hazard and possible outcomes There are various conditions and behaviour that appears to manifest itself when an individual is highly stressed and exhibiting some of these include: - Answer-• Wild, threatening, bizarre behaviour with possible mania or psychosis • Violent resistance • Violent behaviour generally The NSWP CEW Standard Operating Procedures places restrictions on when the CEW should not be used. Some of these include: - Answer-• On persons where there is a likelihood of significant secondary injuries (eg elevated positions) • Against passive non-compliant subjects who are exhibiting non threatening behaviour • Near explosive materials, flammable liquids or gasses due to the possibility of ignition. A CEW should not be used in any mode against passive non-complaint subjects who are exhibiting non threatening behaviour which may include: - Answer-• Refusing to move or offering little or no physical resistance. • Refusing to comply with police instructions • Acting as a dead weight or requiring an officer to lift, pull, drag or push them in order to maintain control. The "TASER-Wave" electronic signals of the TASER X26 are effective through? - Answer-- up to two inches of clothing, - through some types of soft body armour - through lightweight clothing. When discharging probes, it is recommended the CEW should generally be aimed - Answer-At below centre sternum A cartridge discharged, even at close range, is more desirable than a drive stun because - Answer-both probes make contact for the full 5 seconds, there is less chance of multiple "signature marks" on the suspect and NMI can be achieved if the drive stun is applied over 4 inches from the probes. The nervous system consists of 3 parts. What are they? - Answer-- Central Nervous System - Command Center (brain and spinal cord) - Motor Nervous System - Carries commands from the brain to muscles (NMI systems affect BOTH the Sensory and motor Nerves) - Sensory Nervous System - Brings information into the brain (effected by stun systems) In considering use of the CEW, never use for the following: - Answer-- verbal defiance - belligerence - punishment - horse play What are the preferred target areas for CEW exposure - Answer-- Lower center mass (below chest or area of the heart) and legs for front exposure - Below the neck area for back exposures (most preferred) True/False As with any use of force, the longer the CEW exposure the greater the risk of potential cumulative physiologic, metabolic, and other effects. - Answer-TRUE True/False The officer should avoid intentionally targeting the CEW on sensitive areas of the body such as the head, throat, breast, chest or area of the heart, genitals, or known pre-existing injury areas without legal justification. - Answer-TRUE True/False Probe deployments are usually more desirable/effective than drive stuns. - Answer-TRUE True/False The further a CEW exposure is away from the heart and the lower the delivered electrical charge the greater the safety margin for the CEW affecting the person's heart. - Answer-TRUE True/False The need for multiple 5-second cycles, or extended or prolonged CEW exposures, may be avoided or reduced by "controlling/cuffing under power" during the "window of opportunity". - Answer-TRUE True/False TASER CEWs are serious weapons and are to be treated as such at all times. - Answer-TRUE When deploying probes to the front of a person's body, where should the CEW generally be aimed - Answer-At the waist area to split the beltline What is the risk of the CEW causing or contributing to a person's cardiac arrest - Answer-Very low True/False Force decision must reasonably consider (as time and circumstances reasonable permit): Officers' reasonable perception of subject's actions or behaviors the officer is attempting to stop, thwart, or control and the foreseeable risks of injuries or harm to subject resulting from force to be use. - Answer-TRUE What should be considered when using reasonable force - Answer-- Use the minimum force necessary to accomplish lawful objectives - Use force only on those "actively resisting" or higher - Give a verbal warning before the use of force
