BRITISH COLUMBIA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

COMPARISONS OF CEW TRAINING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Training Materials Used By Each Agency:

·  TASER International (TI) Version 11.0 (Jan. 2004) = Port Moody uses a small selection of the information from this version

·  TI Version 12.0 (Nov. 2004) = Delta

·  TI Version 13.0 (May 2006) = Transit Authority Police (X26 User Course), West Vancouver, Sheriffs (through the Justice Institute)

·  TI Version 14.0 (Oct. 2007) = Abbotsford, Central Saanich, Nelson, New Westminster, and Corrections

·  RCMP, (Kitasoo, Stl’Atl’Imx) = Essentially based on Version 13.0, but states it has separate training methods and tactics.

·  The remaining agencies of Oak Bay, Vancouver, Victoria, and Saanich do not use specific versions of the TI materials, but do include some of the images and slides from the TI training materials. These agencies appear to have based their training on a Course Training Standard (CTS) developed by Cst. Mike Massine of the Victoria Police Department.

The term “CEW” or “CEWs” will be the term used in this training matrix to describe
