TASER® ECDs are weapons designed to incapacitate a person from a safe distance while reducing the likelihood
of death or serious injury. 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.
Use of Force Policy
Each agency is responsible for creating its own use-of-force policy and determining how TASER devices fit into
their use-of-force matrix based on legal and community standards. Make sure your agency has a use-of-force
policy that addresses TASER ECD use and that this policy is clearly addressed during end-user training.
