How will the QPS make sure the tasers aren’t misused?
The QPS has put a lot of effort into developing a comprehensive training and policy framework to try to ensure appropriate use. These were developed through the 2008 taser trial, consultation with stakeholders including the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) and other police jurisdiction. There is also a robust review and oversight framework, including a review committee which will look at every taser deployment, even if the weapon is not activated. Ethical Standards Command will oversee this process. There is also an external oversight by the CMC.
