Electronic Control Weapons. 87. EHPD shall limit the use of ECWs to only those situations in which such force is necessary to protect the officer, the subject, or another party from immediate physical harm. 88. Unless it would present a danger to the officer or others, officers shall issue a verbal warning to the subject that the ECW will be used prior to use. Where feasible, the officer will defer ECW application a reasonable time to allow the subject to comply with the warning. 89. ECWs will not be used where such deployment may cause serious injury or death from situational hazards, including falling, drowning, losing control of a moving vehicle, or becoming ignited from the presence of a potentially explosive or flammable material or substance, except where lethal force would be permitted. 90. After one standard ECW cycle (5 seconds), the officer shall reevaluate the situation to determine if subsequent cycles are necessary. Officers shall be trained in the risks of prolonged or repeated ECW exposure, including that exposure to the ECW for longer than 15 seconds (whether due to multiple applications or continuous cycling) may increase the risk of death or serious injury. Officers shall clearly articulate and justify each and every cycle used against a subject in a written Use of Force Report. 91. ECWs shall not be used in drive stun mode as a pain compliance technique. ECWs shall be used in drive stun mode only to supplement the probe mode to complete the incapacitation circuit, or as a countermeasure to gain separation between officers and the subject so that officers can consider another force option. 92. ECWs may not be used against pregnant women, elderly persons, children, visibly frail persons or persons with a slight build and persons in medical or mental crisis, except where lethal force would be permitted, or the officer has reasonable cause to believe there is an imminent risk of serious bodily self-harm and lesser force options are not feasible. Officers shall be trained in the increased risks ECWs may present to the above listed vulnerable populations. 93. ECWs may not be applied to a subject’s head, neck, and genitalia, absent exigent circumstances. ECWs shall not be used on handcuffed persons, except in emergencies in which a reasonable officer would believe that serious bodily harm to another person or persons is imminent. 94. Officers shall receive annual ECW certifications, which should consist of physical competency; weapon retention; EHPD policy, including any ...

Electronic Control Weapons. ECWs shall not be used solely as a compliance technique or to overcome passive resistance. Officers may use ECWs only when such force is necessary to protect the officer, the subject, or another person from physical harm and after considering less intrusive means based on the threat or resistance encountered. Officers are authorized to use ECWs to control an actively resistant person when attempts to subdue the person by other tactics have been, or will likely be, ineffective and there is a reasonable expectation that it will be unsafe for officers to approach the person within contact range.

Electronic Control Weapons. 24. ECWs shall not be discharged solely as a compliance technique or to overcome passive resistance. Officers may use ECWs only when such force is necessary to protect the officer or any other individual from physical harm and after considering less intrusive means based on the threat or resistance encountered. Officers are authorized to use ECWs to control an actively resistant individual when attempts to subdue the individual by other tactics have been, or will likely be, ineffective and there is a reasonable expectation that it will be unsafe for officers to approach the individual within contact range. 25. Unless doing so would place any individual at risk, officers shall issue a verbal warning to the individual that the ECW will be used prior to discharging an ECW on the individual. Where feasible, the officer will defer ECW discharge for a reasonable time to allow the individual to comply with the warning. 26. ECWs will not be used where such deployment poses a substantial risk of serious physical injury or death from situational hazards, except where lethal force would be permitted. Situational hazards include falling from an elevated position, drowning, losing control of a moving motor vehicle or bicycle, or the known presence of an explosive or flammable material or substance. 27. Continuous cycling of ECWs is permitted only under exceptional circumstances where it is necessary to handcuff an individual under power. Officers shall be trained to attempt hands-on control tactics during ECW discharges, including handcuffing the individual during ECW discharge (i.e., handcuffing under power). After one standard ECW cycle (5 seconds), the officer shall reevaluate the situation to determine if subsequent cycles are necessary. Officers shall consider that exposure to the ECW for longer than 15 seconds (whether due to multiple discharges or continuous cycling) may increase the risk of death or serious injury. Officers shall also weigh the risks of subsequent or continuous cycles against other force options. Officers shall independently justify each cycle or continuous cycle of five seconds against the individual in Use of Force Reports 28. ECWs shall not be used solely in drive-stun mode as a pain compliance technique. ECWs may be used in drive-stun mode only to supplement the probe mode to complete the incapacitation circuit, or as a countermeasure to gain separation between officers and the individual, so that officers can consider another force option....

Electronic Control Weapons. 144. FPD will ensure that only officers who have successfully completed approved training and are currently certified may be issued, carry, and use Electronic Control Weapons (ECW). Officers will complete ECW certification annually, consisting of updated FPD policy, weapon retention, technology changes, scenario-based training, and report-writing.
Sample 1
Electronic Control Weapons. 61. Officers will use Electronic Control Weapons (“ECWs”) only where: (1) grounds for arrest or detention are present and the subject is actively or aggressively resisting, and lesser means would be ineffective; or (2) such force is necessary to protect the officer, the subject, or another party from immediate physical harm, and lesser means would be ineffective or have been tried and failed. 62. Each standard 5-second ECW application is a separate use of force that officers must individually justify as reasonable. After the first ECW application, the officer will reevaluate the situation to determine if subsequent cycles are reasonable. In determining whether any additional application is reasonable, officers will consider that a subject may not be able to respond to commands during or immediately following an ECW application. Officers will not employ more than three cycles of an ECW against a subject during a single incident. 63. Officers will consider transitioning to alternative control measures if the subject does not respond to ECW applications. 64. Officers will not use ECWs in drive stun mode solely as a pain compliance technique. Officers may use ECWs in drive stun mode only to supplement the probe mode to complete the incapacitation circuit, or as a countermeasure to gain separation between officers and the subject so that officers can consider another force option. 65. Officers will determine the reasonableness of ECW use based upon all the relevant circumstances, including the subject’s apparent age, size, physical, and mental condition, and the feasibility of lesser force options. 66. Except where lethal force is authorized, officers will not use ECWs where: (1) a deployment may cause serious physical injury or death from situational hazards, including falling, losing control of a moving vehicle, or becoming ignited from the presence of potentially explosive or flammable materials or substances; or (2) the subject is visibly pregnant, apparently elderly, a child, visibly frail, has obviously low body mass, or is in apparent medical crisis. 67. Officers will not use ECWs on fleeing persons who do not pose a threat of physical harm to officers, other civilians, or themselves. 68. Officers will not intentionally target ECWs to a subject’s head, neck, or genitalia. 69. Officers will not normally use ECWs on handcuffed or restrained persons. ECWs will be used on handcuffed or restrained persons only where the subject is displaying aggressive physic...
