QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!!
The Nervous System consists of the following: - ANSWERCentral 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)
In considering the use of a CEW: - ANSWERDo not use for verbal defiance
Do not use for belligerence
Do not use for punishment
Do not use for horse play
The preferred target areas for CEW exposure are: - ANSWERLower center mass
(below chest or area of the heart) and legs for front exposure
Below the neck area for back exposures
The back is the most preferred area.
As with any use of force, the longer the CEW exposure the greater the risk of
potential cumulative physiologic, metabolic, and other effects. - ANSWERTrue
The officer should avoid intentionally targeting the CEW on sensitive areas of the
body such as the head, throat, breast, chest (area of the heart), genitals, or known
pre-existing injury areas without legal justification. - ANSWERTrue
Probe deployments are more desirable/effective than drive stuns (other than 3-point
deployments). - ANSWERTrue
The further a CEW exposure is away from the heart and the fewer CEW cycles
applied the greater the safety margin for the CEW affecting the heart. -
ANSWERTrue
Controlling/Cuffing under power during the "window of opportunity" can reduce the
need for repeated or extended CEW exposures. - ANSWERTrue
TASER CEWs are serious weapons and are to be treated as such at all times. -
ANSWERTrue
Evidence Sync is a software program offered by Axon that allows agencies to: -
ANSWERAccess CEW firing data
Update firmware on CEWs
