CED TASER

Conducted Energy Device (CED)

If you are a New York Law Enforcement Officer and want to carry or currently carry a CED/TASER, on the job, this is the course that can help to indemnify you in court, if you deploy a CED! This training is MPTC approved and will show up on your DCJS training records.

Looking for the civilian TASER course? You can find that here.

The Initial Conducted Energy Device (CED) Course is for currently sworn New York law enforcement officers. It is designed to provide the students with the knowledge and skills required to safely and effectively deploy a CED (aka TASER). It begins with an overview of CED technology and then progresses to pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment considerations of conducted energy devices.

The use of conducted energy devices (CED) in law enforcement has increased
dramatically over the last few years. Thousands of law enforcement agencies have
either begun conducted energy device deployment or have plans to deploy conducted
energy devices with their officers in the very near future. All officers who carry CEDs
need to demonstrate they understand CED agency policy and procedures related to its
use, as well as demonstrate handling and deployment proficiency. This, of course,
requires that officers be trained in the operation and application of conducted energy
devices.

Students participating in the training will be required to demonstrate
understanding of their agency’s CED policy to the instructor, particularly where
deployment of conducted energy devices is appropriate, and equally important, where
not appropriate. Students will also be required to demonstrate their knowledge of CEDs
by completing a written and practical exam.

The conducted energy device course is not intended to be the ultimate in training,
but provide officers with a basic foundation and awareness of the advantages,
disadvantages and limitations that exist when using the device. Upon completion of the
course, students will have an understanding of the basic principles of CED operation
and the knowledge and skills necessary to safely deploy a CED within agency
guidelines.

    FAQs:

    1. Q:Do I really need this course in order to carry a CED on the job? A: Though police/peace officers are exempt from the law when it comes possession of CED’s the training is what indemnifies you, if you have to deploy it in the line of duty.
    2. Q: Our department does not have any directive on CED’s but my direct supervisor said it was fine for us to carry it. A: If your agency approves the carrying of a CED your SOP should state such along with explicitly forbidding any officer from carrying a CED that has not been though this training and have the “Initial Other Weapons Conducted Energy Device” listed on their training records.
    3. Q: I was certified by TASER back in the day but that nor the “Initial Other Weapons Conducted Energy Device” show up on my training records. A: For a time DCJS would transfer that training over but that time has expired. If the “Initial Other Weapons Conducted Energy Device” is not listed on your training records you would need to attend this course in order to have it show on your records.
    4. Q: Do I need to take this course annually? A: Unlike TASER, this course is a one and done training. However, your agency will need to provide in-service training for “Other Weapons – Conducted Energy Device” to satisfy the DCJS requirements for annual training.
    5. Q: How do I teach this course? A: If you have completed IDS/IDC and this course as a student you are authorized to teach it and the annual in-service training.
