Read and Obey
Read, study, understand, and follow all instructions, warnings, information, training bulletins and relevant TASER training

bulletins, and TASER training materials could result in death or serious injury to the user, force recipient, and others.
Obey Applicable Laws
Use of CEWs must be legally justified and comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The decision
to use a CEW in a particular manner or circumstance must follow applicable law enforcement agency Guidance.
Conducted Electrical Weapon
• Can temporarily incapacitate target.
• Can cause death or serious injury.
• Obey warnings, instructions and all laws.
• Comply with current training materials and requirements.
• See www.TASER.com.
TASER® CEWs are designed in probe-deployment mode to temporarily incapacitate a person from a safer distance
while reducing the likelihood of serious injuries or death. When used as directed, TASER CEWs have been found
to be safer and more effective than other traditional use-of-force tools and techniques. However, it is important
to remember that the use of force and physical incapacitation, by their very nature, involve risk that someone
will get hurt or may even die from factors that include, but are not limited to: physical resistance, exertion,
individual susceptibilities, and/or unforeseen circumstances. Any use of force, including the use of a CEW, or
physical exertion involves risks that a person may get hurt or die.

Use of Force Policy
Each agency is responsible for creating its own use-of-force policy and determining how TASER CEWs fit into
their use-of-force matrix based on legal and community standards. Make sure your agency has a use-of-force
