An internal report from the Toronto Police Service showed Tasers were used in 500 incidents in 2018, up from 309 incidents the previous year. However, more than half of the reports last year involved police merely showing the weapon.

The RCMP Pipes and Drums bands are comprised of eight distinct bands across Canada. The bands are comprised of volunteers and RCMP personnel and are largely self funded by the band members directly. The funds are intended to help cover a portion of the bands travel costs which each member is required to pay for out of pocket (not paid for by the RCMP directly).

He said the research convinced him they were the best way to minimize harm to civilians when they were implemented almost 20 years ago.

To Nigel Barriffe, president of the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, the money going toward the independent review could be better spent on housing, ensuring people have a livable wage and mental health supports, among other things.

Frederico was one of the architects of  the force's use-of-force training. He said officers got 16 hours of training on stun guns, including on knowing when it was necessary to use one, and how to minimize harm.

In the last decade or so, police services in many cities across North America have increased their use of stun guns. Ottawa's police force is attempting to outfit every officer with a Taser. Montreal's force is aiming for one in each patrol car. Police in American cities like Chicago already are all equipped with the weapon.

"The research benefits are that impacts on social health and well-being could possibly be improved by better information," he said.

Advocates called for more emphasis on de-escalation following the death of Rui Nabico, who went into medical distress and later died in hospital after he was Tasered by Toronto police in 2016.

The third-party review comes on the heels of Toronto police expanding the deployment of its CEW pilot program in May 2018, in which more than 600 police constables were trained to use them.

It is a priority for CBC to create products that are accessible to all in Canada including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges.

The Toronto Police Service is commissioning an independent review that will examine alternatives to the use of conducted energy weapons (CEWs), commonly known as Tasers or stun guns.

Stun gun vs Taser

Police chiefs had advocated for Tasers for years, especially in cases where officers encounter people in emotional or mental distress. They became more ubiquitous since several high profile incidents, including the shootings deaths of Sammy Yatim in 2013 and Andrew Loku in 2015.

The Survivor Income Plan provides compensation to survivors of Regular and Civilian members who suffer a duty-related death and was designed to replicate an income level for survivors equal to the pensionable earnings the member would have received had they survived.

The goal of this program is to focus on repairing the harm caused by inter-generational trauma within the family unit by using traditional healing techniques.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) says the force is asking an external body to look at several aspects of the issue over a period of two months, including:

Toronto police introduced stun guns as a less-lethal option that would immobilize a threat. At the time, only supervisors were trained.

Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which investigates all reports involving police in the province where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault, reported the following number of investigations in which a CEW was used:

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

One of the senior members who advocated for CEWS before their adoption by the force in 2002, retired deputy chief Mike Federico, says the time has come to take another look.
