Suggestion Accepted MET - ERT: Updated Taser Training

[(E5) NOOSE-RYAN]

Suggestion Title: Updated Taser Training

Division: MET - ERT

Would it be possible to add a new slides in showing when it is never appropriate for a taser to be deployed such instances include

- In water
- When raining
- In a petrol station
- At height
- when DSU have a dog deployed

Possible add a short practical one on one with the trainee on taser deployment which again could be

- Officer voicing warnings such as “Police Officer with taser, stay where you are!”
- Taser Deployment warning “Taser!” X3
- Include a scenario where a taser would not be deployed and see how the trainee reacts

Hello - thanks for your suggestion

The above changes you request should already be within the training; but as you request a change, this would mean that training has either changed or trainers are not including everything in the package
I do know the scenario based element above is included in the initial college training; which shows the basics of de-escalation tactics; although this is not indepth like AT

I will review this package over the coming days and make any relevant changes.

Accepted based on the review - no set ETA
