I certainly would agree with the comments of that officer that there are greater and new risks faced today on the street. The risks associated with communicable diseases are very much front and centre in the minds of our officers and in our training.
One of the aspects of a CEW deployment is certainly that in one of its modes there is some distance between the officer and the individual, but you really cannot do police work without getting up front and personal, if I could put it that way. There are risks associated with that.
I think it's a combination, actually. We face risks that we didn't face before, and frankly, our knowledge of risks is probably better than it was in the past. But certainly, any time, for example, that we encounter somebody who is bleeding, I think all of us are very aware of risks of diseases like hepatitis C and AIDS. That certainly is a reality of policing in this century.
