• A subject merely gaining control of a CEW or other piece of equipment may not necessarily justify the use of deadly force, especially
if other Department members are present to assist.
• Department members should defend themselves to avoid becoming incapacitated and risking the possible loss of their firearm.
• When feasible, if a subject gains control of a CEW, Department members should try to move outside the effective range of the CEW
and/or seek cover to mitigate the danger.
