FDLE OBJ- DART STUN
FDLE DART FIRING STUN GUN
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The measure of electrical current or power | Amp (ampere) |
| The predetermined amount of time (usually 5 seconds) that a stun device will discharge automatically when activated | Cycle (cycling) |
| A hand-held stun gun which propels electrified darts/probes | Dart-firing stun gun (DFSG) |
| A form of psychosis which can result from drug use, typically causing halluncinations and/or delusions | Drug-induced psychosis |
| External electric impulses that interfere with tthe electric impulses used by the humabn nerve system to communicate with the skeletal muscl | Electo-muscular disruption (EMD) |
| A device that uses a high voltage, low-power clectrical charge to induce involuntary muscle contractions to temporarily incapacitate a non-compliant subject (alson know as electronic immobilization device) | Electronic control device |
| Force that is not intended to cause death or great bodily harm; nondeadly | Nonlethal |
| The marks left on a subject's body after drive stun applications | Signature marks |
| A broad classification for unexplained in-custody deaths; usually occurs twenty minutes to two hours after the suspect has been taken into custody | Sudden in-custody death syndrome |
| 1 | 1 |
| Florida legislature created this statue as a response to inconsistent stun gun use statewide | F.S. 943.1717 |
| If an officer's agency allows the use of the dart-firing stun gun and has authorized the officer to carry it he or she is required by teh CJSTC to: | Attend annual re-training of at least one hour on its use |
| Is used to control a person during an arrest or to control a person in custody when resistance escalates from passive physical to active physical resistance: | Nonlethal force |
| Used when a person in custody has the apparent ability to physically threaten the officer or others, or the person is preparing or attempting to flee or escape: | Nonlethal force |
| The stun gun was in invented in the 1960s by: | John Cover |
| The acronym TASER stands for: | Thomas A. Swift's Electrical Rifle |
| Are generally built using the same principle which is delivering relatively low power (ampreage or wattage) coupled with high boltage to a subject: | Electronic control devices |
| These 2 words are used synonymously in reference to Electronic control devices: | "Devices" and "tools" |
| Compliance is gainded when using an electronic device by either: | Pain or involuntary muscle contractions causing incapacitation |
| The TASER dart-firing stun gun has the ability to reach its subject from up to: | 35 feet |
| Electricity follows the path of least resistance and on a dart-firing gun that is: | Between the probes |
| The wider the probes spread on the target the greater the: | Effectiveness of the weapon |
| By generating a high-voltage , low-amperage electrical charge, the basic idea of a stun gun is to disrupt: | The body's communication system |
| The main advantage of dart-firing stun gun is that it stuns subjects from a greater distance typically: | 15 to 25 feet for patrol, 35 feet for SWAT/Special Operations |
| The disadvantage of dart-firing stun gun is if an officer misser or only one probe hits: | He or she must reload to attempt a second shot |

| Occurs when the front of the dart-firing stun gun is ditectly touched to the body of the resisting subject and the electrical charge is passed to the subject's body: | Drive stun or touch stun |
| The drive stun may assist an officer in taking a subject into custody but does not: | Incapacitate a subject |
| Drive stun idea target areas of the body are: | Large muscle mass areas or areas with high nerve concentration (side of neck, inside of the thigh, rib cage under the subject's arm) |
| If an electronic control device gets wet an officer should: | Make sure it is turned off and put in a clean, dry place until it dries completely |
| A dart-firing stun gun transmits electric impulses that interfere with the electric impulses used by the human nerve system to communicater with the skeletal muscles causing physical incapaitation or electro-muscular disruption(EMD), possible effects are: | Falling to ground, yelling/screaming, involuntary muscle contractions, freezing in place w/legs locked, feeling dazed for serveral seconds/minutes, vertigo or temp tingling sensation, critical stress amnesia, not remembering pain, minor signature marks |
| The fall that results from use of a dart-firing stun gun that could cause more significant injuries are: | Occur from elevated heights or other hazardous areas |
| In nearly all Sudden In-custody Death Syndrome deaths the victim bizarre behavior due to: | Delusional, agitated or stimulatn drug-induced mental states |
| Is death as a result of body position that interfers with the ability to breathe: | Positional asphyxia |
| Excited delirium and drug-induced psychosis can cause: | Hallucinations and/or delusions or positional asphyxia |
| There are some consistent indicators of SDS, common factors are the visisble signs of distress or indicators that a subject may be suffering delirium are: | Psychotic behavior, disorientation, intense sweating, hot/feverish skin, delirious and/or delusional behavior, extreme paranoia, continuously racing pulse, and/or a history of drug abuse or use |
| The quickest and safest way for an officer to handle a subject in distress or suffering from excited delirium is: | Notify EMS as soon as possible, use a dart-firing stun gun to incapacitate if necessary, restrain the subject at the earlies possible point using the least restrictive means possible |
| Probe hits are alomst always more desirable than drive stuns because they are: | More effective (neuromuscular vs. pain complaince), can be applied from safer distance, usually require fewer cycles, and cause fewer injuries |
| A 7 to 15 watt system works as pain compliance tool and does not interfere with a person's nervous system, a 26-watt system: | Overrides the body's sensory and motor nervous system but has not been shown to interfere with respiration or heatbeat |
| When encountering any obviously pregnant or ill subject an officer should: | Follow agency policy |
| Probes that have been removed from the skin should be treated as: | Biohazard sharps |
| All deeply embedded probes or probes that penetrate sensitive tissue areas (neck, face, groin, female breast, etc.) should be removed by: | Trained medical professionals |
| Under the Fourth Amendment's objective reasonableness standard (Graham v. Conner, 490, U.S. 386 1989) analizes claims that officers: | Used excessive force in the course of an arrest, investigatory stop, or other seizure |
| Florida Statue requiresofficers to consider using a DFSG only when a subject is: | Actively physically resisting |
| The one-time shock of a suspect with a TASER does not constitute excessive force and was reasonably proportionate when the subject: | Repeatedly refused verbal commands and became hostile, belligerent and uncooperative during the stop |
| 1 | 1 |
| An officer gives the subject another opportunity to comply with lawful commands and avoid the use of the dart-firing stun gun by | Disengaging or de-escalating |
| The use of a dart-firing stund gun is not a substitute for: | Use of a firearm |
| The primary target of a DFSG should be large muschle groups such as: | Back, buttocks and legs |
| A higher likelihood of potential for injury to the subject if the officer intentionally targets a subject's: | Head, neck, face, female breast, or groin |
| Special considerations and safety factors when using or not using a DFSG are: | Elevated position, operating vehicle or machinery, flammable chemical spray has been deployed, in an evironment containing hazardous materials or potentially flammable/volatile/explosive materials |
| Several cycles of the DSFG maybe necessary until: | Subject stops physically resisting or backup arrives on scene |
