Invented by NASA researcher, John H. Cover, in the 1960’s and 70’s, the TASER® has been widely adopted by police agencies as a non-lethal alternative to guns. While these devices have aided authorities in subduing suspects, it has also resulted in numerous unnecessary deaths. The general perception of the non-lethality of Tasers along with poor judgement on the part of law enforcement has culminated in the over use and apparent misuse of discharge against suspects when alternate options have existed. The following paper will discuss in detail the creation of Conducted Energy Weapons (CEW) and the TASER®; negative medical implications of Tasers and their current use by police enforcement groups; the laws which govern the use of

All reported cases of the use of the TASER by department personnel in a large metropolitan department for a 3-year period (2002 to 2004; N = 243) (p.177).

The probes can penetrate up to two inches of clothing with pinpoint accuracy (TASER International, n.d.). The charge is sent thru the wires and into the probes. The charge is transmitted between the two probes, jamming sensory and motor functions, and inhibiting muscular control (Seals, 2007). This effect continues in 5-10 second cycles each time you press the trigger (Seals, 2007). The TASER is designed to deliver a jolt of electricity to the victim, which results in complete loss of muscular control for a short period of time, allowing a police officer to handcuff and gain control of the offender. The Arizona based TASER International makes most of the TASERs used by law enforcement agencies today. TASER International claims that since early 1998 to 2010 over 406,000 TASERs have been sold worldwide, for law enforcement use. In 2007 TASER International produced $100.7 million in revenue, 85 percent coming from the United States.

Most of us are familiar with the distinctive ticking of a TASER. TASERs, used by police departments throughout the United States of America, have become a go to tool for apprehending suspects without fatally wounding them. The first use of primitive TASERs dates back to 1960 and they have come a long way since. Such as advancements such as upgrading from gunpowder to compressed air, to more computerised TASERs that automatically cut off and collect crucial user data. With the advancement of technology, TASERs quickly became a more viable tool for an officer 's duty belt.

On 3/17/16 at 12:10 A.M, Safety Specialist Kevin Sabulsky notified Shift Supervisor (S/S) Enmanuel Cabrera that he saw the officer who was positioned in the exit shack not check the back of a trailer. S/S Cabrera advised Safety Specialist Kevin Sabulsky that he will look into the matter. Upon further review of the video surveillance system, S/S Cabrera saw that Security Officer Dinh Nguyen did not check the back of one trailer at 11:57 P.M on 3/16/16. S/S Cabrera immediately made his way to the exit shack to speak with S/O Nguyen. S/O Nguyen explain that the trailer was here early to his appointment and was “just passing through the yard.” The security officer also stated, that the trailer was properly check out in the YMS system and he

On arrival they witnessed smoke and flames on the mid level of the building. Two battalion chiefs arrived on scene and one proceeded to set up incident command at the lobby, while the other led fire fighters up the building for fire attack (Routley 8). One of the security guards then informed the chiefs that the fire was on the 22nd floor, and at 2033 battalion chief 5 ordered a second alarm (Routley 8). Due to insufficient fire protection around the utility lines all power was lost to the building (Routley 8). At the loss of primary power the emergency generator didn’t kick in due to improper maintenance it was unable to start (Routley 8). This profoundly impacted the fire operations for the remainder of the incident because the entire building was left without electricity (Routley 8). As stated in the tactical report, “This total power failure had a major impact on the firefighting operations. The lack of lighting made it necessary for firefighters to carry out suppression operations in complete darkness using only battery powered lights. Since there was no power to operate elevators, firefighters were forced to hand carry all suppression equipment including SCBA replacement cylinders up the stairs to the staging area that was established on the 20th floor. In addition, personnel had to climb at least 20 floors

The evolutionary histories of the technology and its associated manufacturing corporations have always resulted in design deficiencies that have prevented the device from making it to the market. However, with Taser International the company collectively refined the device based on the failures of previous manufacturers and began marketing the device to law enforcement agencies as from 1998 onward.

CTC is definitely a company worth investing in. Due to the fact CTC is such diverse company no retailer in either the ‘brick and mortar or online’ sector competes directly with CTC. With so many departments and offerings for clients CTC is almost guaranteed to always be in a position of success because if one of its sectors were to experience any downfall there is a strong support system in place with its other offerings and strong and reliable history. A relatable way to truly appreciate the stable state of CTC is provided to the public on their website and listed as ‘Fun Facts’. Some of these facts that are the most interesting include: “The Canadian Tire Family of Companies sells enough rolls of hockey tape to connect Victoria and Halifax

One stipulation of the 1033 program that grants most local agencies the military grade weapons is that the said local agencies must use the equipment within one year of receiving it. This odd rule may lead to weapons being used with no just cause only because they must be used within a designated time frame. In one instance a MRAP vehicle was given the Ohio University Police so that they could have a presence at football games (War, 24). It also doesnn’t seem difficult for these weapons to be requested. Under the 1033 program there are two criteria for approval. First, that the agency plans to use the equipment for law enforcement purpose (counter drug and counterterrorism efforts are emphasized by law), and second, the transfer will result

After driving the Motorhome approximately 85 miles without any indications of problems or malfunctions being displayed on the Motorhomes instrument panel gauges, the service engine light came on an the service alarm began sounding.

The amount of Tasers deployed between 2010 – 2011 went from 473 to 522 “reported” uses from the Queensland police. The use of Tasers is becoming a much larger issue every year.

Playground: Several spots of flaking paint were found on the large climbing structure. (CPSC Playground Safety Handbook and AR 608-10) RAC 4 (III D) = Low. Recommendation: Submit a service order to have the climbing structure flaking paint area repainted.
