Yes. I'm glad you asked me that because I wanted to elaborate slightly on the training. Before a device is issued, there is a full eight hours of training, emphasizing policy, procedure, and judgment. Then there is the skill and technical knowledge. All of that is tested in both a practical exercise and a written format. Then every 12 months a person has to recertify on that use-of-force device.
