ny member not regularly issued a body camera will have their TASER X2 CEW outfitted with a TASER CAM HD.

1. In order to gain compliance prior to discharging the TASER X2 CEW or using the TASER X2 CEW in drive-stun mode, members shall, absent exigent circumstances, adhere to the following: a. Verbalize their intent to use the TASER X2 CEW (e.g. because of assaultive or actively resistant behavior, etc.); b. Determine whether the individual is complying with verbal directions (e.g. raising hands, getting on the ground, etc.); c. Display and/or point the TASER X2 CEW at the person; and d. Point the red laser lights at the person, ensuring that the laser light is never pointed in the area of the eyes.

2. Members must, if possible, obtain backup and issue a loud verbal warning to the person before the initial cycle and every subsequent cycle of the TASER X2 CEW to control the person.

3. Members shall have their trigger finger outside the trigger guard unless actively engaged in discharging their TASER X2 CEW or using the TASER X2 CEW in drivestun mode. Trigger fingers inside the trigger guard may lead to unintended CEW activation, especially if the incident is still actively evolving.

4. Members shall avoid hitting sensitive tissue areas, such as the head, face, neck, groin, or breast. Absent exigent circumstances, only EMS personnel or medical personnel at a medical facility shall remove probes penetrating these sensitive areas.

5. Given that medical professionals under optimal circumstances cannot unequivocally diagnose excited delirium and that in such fast evolving circumstances where confrontations or physical struggles spike in intensity and outcomes are uncertain at best, members shall be held only to the “objective reasonableness” standard as established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Graham v. Conner (1989).

6. Caution is urged when dealing with exhausted individuals or persons exhibiting symptoms of excited delirium. Physical struggles that involve intense high levels of exertion beyond 45 seconds should be minimized if there is the possibility TASER X2 CEW use. High intensity struggles should be expeditiously resolved by either the use of the TASER X2 CEW or by way of another approved use of force.

7. Persons under the influence of drugs (prescription or illegal), alcohol, or a combination of both, may be at a heightened risk of medical complications or death following a CEW contact. In dealing with such individuals, members shall adhere to the guidelines set forth in the most recent TASER X2 CEW certification/recertification training sessions.

8. Generally, members should not attempt to activate more than one (1) CEW at a given time against a subject. If an initial TASER X2 CEW discharge does not make contact or is ineffective, subject to the limitations explained below, the same or another member may attempt an additional discharge as needed or practical in order to make successful contact on a person.
