Originally there weren't as many CEWs available to the officers, so in the first year there would have been diminished use compared to the following years. However, after a full procurement and rollout of the CEW, of course we'd see more CEW uses because there would be more CEWs. We now know that in the last two to three years we've had a consistent average of approximately 1,000 uses per year.
