The Western Australia Police Commissioner's Police Manual policies and procedures, in respect to Use of Force, were revised in the Police Gazette No 49, published on 9 December 2010.
These policies are the current policies, not an 'interim' measure in the normal context. The reference to these changes being interim may have been in the context that they are under constant review and change, as required, and the outcome of the changes will be monitored for impact.
The revision to policies, published in the above mentioned Gazette, affected all 'Force Option' policies relating to Use of Force, Firearms, Batons, Oleoresin Capsicum Spray, Taser and Handcuffs.
Attached [see tabled paper no] are the revised policies, specific to Taser in WA Police Manual policy FR-1.6.
