I'm FREE! or better yet the "Allegation of excessive use of force is Unfounded".

Goggles,

I'm not familiar with the Monandock force continuum (hmm my google skills are weak tonight as well).

Unforutantly my department does not have the ability or resources to do studies. However, I have been hearing alot lately form bigger agencies such as Phoenix P.D. and Maricopa County S.O. refering to and acknowledging the fact that baton and other strikes are completely ineffective on EDP or chemically stimulated people.

The only evolving training we have been doing lately is the implamentation of the Taser(s). Most agencies are becoming Taser dependent however we are working hard to make sure that our people are properly deploying the taser as well as working through the Taser when it fails. We strongly emphasize and train to speed reload Tasers under stress as well as holstering it and transitioning.
