This course has been specifically developed for municipal officers in Saskatchewan and is consistent with the Policy Manual for Saskatchewan Municipal Police Services as authorized by the Saskatchewan Police Commission.
Conducted energy weapons (CEW) are widely used by law enforcement to gain control of subjects in potentially violent situations. However, the use of CEWs is not without risk. The 2007 tragedy involving Robert Dziekanski precipitated a comprehensive examination of the use of CEWs. As a result of that review, the Saskatchewan Police Commission has implemented new standards for the use of CEWs and operator certification.
Conducted Energy Weapon – Taser 7 (Saskatchewan) is designed to ensure police officers can safely use a CEW and can articulate the legal, technical, medical, and accountability requirements for use of a CEW. The content of this course is consistent with the Policy Manual for Saskatchewan Municipal Police Services – Standards and is mandatory for all municipal police officers who operate CEWs in Saskatchewan.
To receive CEW Operator Certification for the Taser 7 in the province of Saskatchewan, municipal police officers must successfully complete the CPKN Conducted Energy Weapon Operator Training course and the AXON Taser 7 course prior to attending the practical hands-on component and final assessment (to be scheduled by the officer’s police agency).
