WHEN TO USE THE WEAPON

-

Rules governing the proper use of Tasers or stun guns – known as Conducted Electrical Weapons – are spelled out in the NYPD Patrol Guide:

“The CEW should generally not be used on children, the elderly, obviously pregnant females”

“Some factors to consider are the size, age, and condition of the subject in comparison to” officers.

“A CEW should only be used against persons who are actively resisting, exhibiting active aggression, or to prevent individual­s from physically injuring themselves or other person(s) actually present.”
