Axon TASER 10 release date

If you observe a potential safety hazard, require assistance, notice suspicious activity, feel unsafe or need a walking escort, you can reach Public Safety directly through any emergency phone on campus. Just pick up the receiver or press the button. You will be instantly connected to an emergency operations center (PennComm) dispatcher who has direct contact with the Penn Police and other important public safety agencies.

The panel had representatives from various organizations, such as the Independent Investigations Office, Alliance of BC Modern Treaty Nations, LabTest Certification (conducted energy weapon [CEW] testing contractor/laboratory), British Columbia Schizophrenia Society, Victoria Police Department, RCMP “E” Division and Vancouver Police Department.

More than 700 Bluelight phones are located across campus in garages, on the street and on buildings, with over 200 emergency phones located in elevators. The phones operate on either a cellular or hard-wire platform with self diagnostic technology reporting communications any issues directly back to Public Safety.

The approval process for Taser 7 included convening a multi-disciplinary panel to provide advice to the director of Police Services with consideration of a range of expertise and perspectives.

After thorough review of the Taser 7’s functionality and safety considerations, the panel unanimously recommended a field trial of the CEW, which was then authorized by the director of Police Services.

TASER 10

The B.C. Public Service acknowledges the territories of First Nations around B.C. and is grateful to carry out our work on these lands. We acknowledge the rights, interests, priorities, and concerns of all Indigenous Peoples - First Nations, Métis, and Inuit - respecting and acknowledging their distinct cultures, histories, rights, laws, and governments.

The Taser 7 is now authorized for use in B.C., and has been in use in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

B.C. amended the Police Act in 2012 to develop police standards on CEWs and set out a process for provincial approval of intermediate weapons or restraint devices in keeping with the recommendations of the Braidwood Commission.

The field trial ran from April 1, 2023, to Dec. 31, 2023, and consisted of participating officers from the RCMP “E” Division, and officers from the Vancouver, Victoria and Port Moody police departments. The results of the field trial found the Taser 7 was effective, and no serious injuries or deaths among subjects, officers or bystanders were reported.

At the conclusion of the field trial and based on the results, the minister of public safety and solicitor general approved amendments to the standards on CEWs. The panel has recommended several conditions to ensure that all police agencies in B.C. update their CEW training programs and adjust their CEW internal policies and procedures to align with provincial standards on CEWs.
