How is the performance of the TASER CEW monitored?

The performance of the TASER Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) is monitored via a regular inspection schedule because this systematic approach ensures that the device is functioning as intended and adheres to safety standards. Regular inspections can help identify any potential issues before they arise, ensuring that the equipment is reliably available when needed, and can catch malfunctions early in their development.

While daily reports and user reviews can provide additional insights into the usage and effectiveness of the TASER CEW, they do not constitute a standard method for monitoring performance. Officers alone do not have the comprehensive oversight required for systematic evaluation, as it is essential for the inspection schedule to be part of an organized and formal accountability process. This regular inspection framework helps maintain the integrity and accountability of TASER units within law enforcement, aligning with best practices for equipment management and operational safety.
