This will assist in <br />ensuring EPD our patrol officers are equipped with appropriate De-escalation <br />tools and less than lethal options when managing incidents. <br /> <br />Description of Use of Funds <br /> <br />Policing today is a complex service that more than ever requires policing <br />staff to have the skills and equipment necessary to manage incidents with <br />uncooperative individuals. The conducted energy device provides patrol <br />officers with a less than lethal option when encountering volatile situations. <br /> <br />This request for approximately six (6) conducted energy devices (Taser) is <br />to be used by the Emeryville Police Department patrol officers and <br />supervisors. Once approved, this equipment will be appropriately procured <br />and put into service within a short timeframe. Having this equipment in <br />service for the officers and supervisors use will greatly benefit our efforts to <br />prioritize de-escalation techniques and reduce the likelihood of a lethal <br />force encounter with our officers. <br />
