Richardson, Chief of Police LEâ‚¬/ CC: Town Administrator Richard Widmer Date: 05/01/02 Re: Arrest Control Tool (Taser) Background As part of our assessment of less than lethal capabilities for our police officers, a study of this tool has been conducted. Currently, Estes Park Police Officers are issued the following less than lethal equipment; handcuffs, pepper spray, ASP baton, and the patrol supervisors carry the less than lethal bean bag in their patrol vehicle. In our efforts to review arrest control tools, this item was presented as a possible device for our department. This tool provides a greater opportunity to reduce or eliminate excessive force, lethal force, and injury to suspects. A by-product is the increased safety factor for the officer when deploying this tool. The purpose is to provide our officers with tools designed to enhance their abilities to safely render a non- compliant subject into custody with the least amount of injury to the subject and the officer. The police officer can literally maintain control of the suspect until help arrives without causing any permanent injury to a suspect. The tool operates on nine volt batteries delivering an electric shock to the subject causing temporary muscle paralysis. There are two barbed contacts that are projected from the tool. Once the barbs are affixed to the subject, the officer activates the tool by depressing the trigger mechanism sending a five-second electric shock to the subject rendering the subject temporarily incapacitated. This allows the officer and those assisting time to handcuff the subject. This tool, if selected, will be placed in the trunk of each patrol car with other equipment. BudgeUCost Seven Tasers-Battery Chargers-Batteries-Computer Software Total $3,711.55 Recommendation Staff recommends the purchase of these tools for the year 2003 and that department policy addresses the use of this tool in the field to include annual training requirements. 1 %0.0 4 -0 4 4 32 0 32 j : ci~ 6% 0 0 0 f , O .O-0 -O 6 25 8Â§9% 9 82g 009- O 0 000 c> d~ 0- : r' WA Le ~~fill' O 0 00000 0 - tr) 9- N O O 0 .Or-â€¢:.000 --: r 'â€ž 0 00000 . 0 0 -- 000 0 M un h CO 0 0 0 co O v- 10 0 0 N - 0)! r -, IN,â€¢- r O 0 0 0,1 O 0 00000 0 0000 0 0 0 000000000 -,O *000000 O 0 -- 000 0 (N ul ~ M 0 0 0 000-1000(N-C) 01 Â» N--000 f k -4.g.g E g 1~ ~ ~6 g E I gi 0 0 -000- 0 0 N h O 0 0 00 00900=00 0 M . o rioo O O 0 - 00 or- O 0) 01 1--O 0 0 -1Â·- --* O -61*A- 0 -cOO h I loi <11 1 M,- 1 - 1 0 0 . p ' ililirli,9, i 20 2 00000 0 0000 000 000000000 'O: O 0 010000 0 e O 00 ,0 1111!!111!lili - 0 0 -000- 0 03- NO 0 0 h * O 01 - 0-) - 00 0 1~, O (9' Imi.-i.,0 0.- e , 1 0 - 1 0 3232 z. f o 0 2 LO & -P -0 + ci~ r d- -O 0 (D O - 9 2 ; 1 g gig 9 g 14) 10 O 0 -NOOO 0 Lf) r- ~Â· O 0 0 01 (9 O -O-000 O 0 Nroor O Lor.O o o LO r- O - w o o m o cO M - TO M- - 000 N " Ii I O -O --000 0 0000 000 000000000 01 10 000000& 0 0 -NOO" O lor--O 0 0 .) -O-U-00(9000 .9 0 (N""000 CN - Co ut, 1 1 " , 121 >z LLI ~ Ed~ !2 = S .

Box 1287 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Lowell, Thank you for your support and contribution in planning for the Partnershipsfor Community Safety training on April 18 in Estes Park. You are to be commended for your efforts in gathering together a diverse group o frepresentatives from your community. I recognize that there were some challenges in working with this group and getting all the stakeholders to the table. Yet, as I review the training notes, I am amazed! There was a great deal of information pulled together that will assist your community in moving forward toward their goals. Also, reflections from group members at the end ofthe training demonstrated they were motivated by the positive approach ofthe training. The group clearly stated through the evaluation feedback that the content of the training was excellent. Enclosed is the final copy of training notes and a summary ofthe training evaluations. Let me know if I can be of further assistance as your community continues to further refine strategies and identify resources to address their issues. Laurel or I will contact you periodically to find out what progress has been made in the implementation of strategies and what impacts can be attributed to those actions. As a follow-up to the training, I would appreciate a copy of any coverage ofthe training or the groups continued activity including news articles, newsletters, TV news coverage videos, and minutes of follow-up meetings. Thank you again for your cooperation and I look forward to a continued relationship in strengthening community partnerships to address public safety issues in your community. Sincerely, tor encl.

P. 3 INTRODUCTION TO THE ADVANCED TASER PROJECT From Rick Smith, President, TASER International DEVELOPING A LESS-LETHAL WEAPON WHICH CAN STOP FOCUSED COMBATANTS In 1995 we introduced our first less-lethal weapon: the AIR TASER 34000 stun system. This 7 watt stun system was designed to improve upon the features and usability of the original TASER which had been marketed since 1974. Our goal back then was to retain the same power settings and performance. Shortly after the introduction, we were invited to demonstrate the AIR TASER 34000 in Prague in the Czech Republic. The demonstration did not go very well. The demonstration was held at the police academy and was hosted by the training staff. When the time came for us to get a volunteer, the close quarter combat trainer selected a volunteer and proceeded to yell and scream at him in the Czech language. This young man was so "pumped up" that when we shot him with the 7 watt stun system, he managed to fight his way through the effect, and walk forward to grab the shooter. I was amazed to see this happen, so we asked for another volunteer. The same thing happened. Leaving the facility a bit confused and certainly dismayed at the results, we set out to determine why these people were able to fight through a system which is shown to be quite effective in field use. Since that time, I have come to learn that this problem is not unique to stun systems. It is a problem faced by all less-lethal technologies. They all rely upon some sort of pain compliance, distraction, or impairment. But no system I came across was able to stop someone who was focused, combative, and ready to fight through pain, discomfort, and distraction. So, in early 1996, we set out to create a system that would reliably stop even these focused subjects. So began the ADVANCED TASER Project. Our goal was to develop a system which would accomplish two simultaneous goals: i. The system must be sufficiently effective to cause a physical debilitation in the target sufficient to render the target incapable of complex motor skills required for aggressive behavior. ii. The system must be sufficiently safe that the risk of injury or death should be less than that for current less-lethal technologies such as impact munitions (bean bags, rubber bullets, etc.) In attacking the problem, we chose to follow the same approach to research as is used in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Before the FDA will approve a new drug, it must undergo testing to ensure it is safe (has no unsafe side effects) and effective. These tests almost always occur in animal models first, then in human subjects. We broke the ADVANCED TASER development project into 4 phases: Investigative animal testing, Quantitative safety verification against mathematical safety standards, In-depth animal safety testing and sensitivity analysis, and finally human subject effectiveness testing. 1. Investigative Animal Research P. 6 The first phase of this program was to investigate the bioelectric effects of these weapons on mammalian subjects. Humans were ruled out for both safety and ethical reasons. In this phase, we created a test apparatus which would enable us to test a variety of key variables of the TASER Wave output such as amperage, power, and pulse duration. The results of the testing were dramatic. The key variable in the output was the energy in each pulse. We started with a standard 0.44 Joule pulse (from a 0.22uF capacitor) as used in the AIR TASER model 34000. Applying this output to the chest of an anaesthetized animal, we saw almost no physical reaction. There was some minor twitching during the pulses, but nothing too significant. As we increased the power to 0.88 Joules (delivered from a 0.44 uF capacitor) the twitching increased. At 1.32 Joules per pulse (0.66 uF capacitor), the twitching was severe. The result at 1.76 Joules (0.88uF capacitor) were incredible. Even though the animal was completely anaesthetized and could feel no pain, the muscles of the body went into a complete, uhcontrollable contraction. We had achieved the effect we were looking for: a weapon output that could directly cause the muscles to go into an uncontrollable contraction.

P. 4 It is this effect which lead us to develop the terminology of distinguishing between the low power stun systems and the higher systems, which we termed Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) systems, It was clear that at the low power, we could effect the sensory nervous system as exemplified by the fact that human volunteers frequently found stimulation from these stun systems overwhelming. However, the fact that focused people can fight through these effects coupled with the fact that the anaesthetized animals showed almost zero physical response validated that these stun systems were not greatly effecting the motor nerves and muscles. Once we increased the power up to the 1.78 Joules per pulse level, the muscles were being contracted completely and involuntarily. Hence, the term Electro-Muscular Disruption. We had found what we were looking for: the ability to directly disrupt neuro-motor control. Further, these tests were conducted using a variety of different electrode placements to assess whether there were any adverse cardiac effects. There were none. The animal recovered without after- effect. 11. Quantitative Verification of Electrical Safety p. 9 The work from Phase I would establish the effect we were looking for, Phase 11 validated the safety results from Phase I to ensure we were within acceptable electrical safety levels for humans. Both UL levels and IEC levels were used for this validation. As shown on the graph on Page 9, the ADVANCED TASER is well within internationally accepted electrical safety levels. 111. In-Depth Animal Safety Studies p. 10 Performed at the University of Missouri, this is the most extensive medical safety testing of any less-lethal weapon known to me. During these tests, two leading experts in cardiac safety tested the ADVANCED TASER under extreme circumstances to evaluate if the system could pose a medical threat. Under none of the applications simulating potential real world use of the weapon was a dangerous interaction found. Not only did the researchers test the ADVANCED TASER by placing the probes on the surface of the chest in the locations which are known to have the greatest probability of cardiac interference, they used hypodermic needles inserted into the chest to directly stimulate the surface of the heart. They used drugs such as epinephrine, Ketamine, and isoproterenol to see if the ADVANCED TASER would have an effect on a person under the influence of drugs known to sensitize the heart to stimulation. They even simultaneously applied the shock from two ADVANCED TASERS (over 52 Watts of power) directly to the chest regions where the cardiac affect would be greatest. Even under these extreme circumstances, they were unable to cause a dangerous cardiac fibrillation. Over the course of three days of testing, in 192 discharges of the ADVANCED TASER, these researchers administered over 14,000 of the 26 Watt ADVANCED TASER Wave pulses to five animals all of which are significantly smaller (and hence more susceptible to electrical fibrillation) than humans. Two leading experts in cardiac safety, purposefully attempting to cause fibrillation by using drugs, implanted needles to the surface of the heart, and even simultaneously applying two ADVANCED TASERS to the chest were unable to cause fibrillation with the ADVANCED TASER. I think it becomes apparent that the chances of a random situation occurring in the real world where the ADVANCED TASER would pose a risk to the heart is miniscule. IV. Human Subiect Studies p. 12 Starting on page 12 is listed a verified registry of over 900 human volunteers who have been hit with the ADVANCED TASER. I am included in this list myself having taken a hit from shoulder to hip. The list shows the location of the probes, which vary al! over the body from hip to foot to chest, etc. Most of these volunteers had the probes taped to them, but several were shot with the probes in either the front or back. There are two things which are consistent about every one of these volunteers. First, they were all incapacitated - not one of these volunteers could perform aggressive actions while being hit with the ADVANCED TASER and all had been instructed to try. Second, everyone recovered fully within seconds. There were no after effects noted other than slight surface irritation on the skin similar to sun burns. This data strongly supports that the ADVANCED TASER will continue the results of historic TASER technology CONFIDENTIAL: DO NOT REPRODUCE OR DISTRIBUTE This document is intended for use by law enforcement agencies only.

However, the ADVANCED TASER brings a quantum leap in stopping power. V. Letter from University of Ottawa Heart Institute p. 44 This review letter from Dr. Hendry, Co-Director of the Pacemaker Clinic is a good, common sense overview from a leading expert on cardiac safety that while there's nothing in life without risk, the risk associated with the ADVANCED TASER is certainly less than for many common alternatives in widespread use today. In summary, we have tested the ADVANCED TASER in a very thorough manner with basic animal studies, quantitative analysis, in-depth worst case animal testing, and human effectiveness testing in over 200 volunteers. While this human testing was primarily geared at testing the effectiveness of the system against aggressive subjects, it further validated our animal results that the ADVANCED TASER does not leave lasting harm. Given the level of testing involved, not to mention the supportive opinions from leading medical safety experts, and after being hit with the unit personally, I can state unequivocally that the ADVANCED TASER is a safe, effective means to bring potentially violent confrontations under control quickly and with minimal risk to police officers and suspects. I hope this introductory letter helps to illuminate the thought process and philosophy which has guided our team in developing what we believe is a major advancement in less-lethal weapon technology.

With regard to its medical safety, based on the informadon that was provided to me I cannot see that it should provide any increased risks to patients with either pacemakers or implantable defibrillators. Once again the risk and benefit ratio must be examinedandcertainly in the case ofa violent offender, itwouldbe favored to use this system regardless of any cardiac condition when compared to the alternative or violent way to incapacitate an offender. Thank you very much for allowing me to review this system and I hope that it proves to be a useful tool for your tactical team. I would be happy to continue our discussions at any time.

T found that in 3 of the 5 animals studied, we delivered the discharges of two Advanced Tasers simultaneously a total of 10 times. 'These dogs weighed between 55 and 62 pounds, and the fu!] power Advanced Tasers were used. We observed no episodes of vcntrioular fihrillation in these 10 episodes, which were all delivered to thc chest wall of itic animals. Our failure to induce ventricular fibrillation in these relatively small experimental animals suggests that a similar discharge into an adult human would also be unlikely to induce ventricular fihrillation.
