Summary

"...this note will attempt to summarize a sample of recently conducted research on the medical effects of tasers as well as review the state of taser-governance throughout Canada. In order to accomplish this, the paper will highlight conclusions of the recent medical research, review conclusions and recommendations made by a series of public reports starting in 2005 and finally, place these findings within the context of Police Boards and the issues they will likely face on a reoccurring basis. Citations from research and policies produced by bodies in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada will be used throughout the report. It is the goal of this report to compliment the existing taser knowledge of board members in order for them to make the best informed decisions possible."--Pages 4-5.
