Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security Regarding Tasers

Given this abdication of proper governance role of the civilian masters of the police in respect of the CEW/Taser, the BCCLA in the fall of the 2007 called for a moratorium on the use of Tasers, a moratorium that we continue to seek.

The BCCLA urges the House Committee on Public Safety and National Security to also recommend a moratorium until there is adequate research to affirm that the Taser does not represent an unreasonable risk of harm to the public and there are adequate uniform standards across the countries police and law enforcement community with respect to training, use and reporting regarding CEW/Tasers.
