TASER® Electronic Control Devices (ECDs) are weapons designed to incapacitate a person
from a safe distance while reducing the likelihood of serious injuries or death. Though they
have been found to be a safer and more effective alternative when used as directed to other
traditional use of force tools and techniques, it is important to remember that the very
nature of use of force and physical incapacitation involves a degree of risk that someone
will get hurt or may even be killed due to physical exertion, unforeseen circumstances and
individual susceptibilities.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
To minimize the risk of injury before, during, and after use, consider the following:
MINIMIZE RISKS BEFORE USE
