Chief’s
report

The Chief indicated a report would be coming to the
Board in the new year requesting an expansion of the deployment of CEWs. Vice
Chair Smallwood asked that the report include information on the benefits of
CEWs. Given there are scarce resources, he asked that the report explain the
advantages of spending the money on this equipment versus additional de-escalation
training. The Chief confirmed that an evaluation would be coming forward to
the Board in February and it will contain evidence to demonstrate the
effectiveness and value of the tool, particularly with respect to reduced
injuries and reduced safety concerns for the public and officers.
