1) The "real world" safety implications of Tasers require urgent independent and unbiased study.



2) Until such time as independent and unbiased study into the "real world" safety implications of Tasers has been properly completed, a moratorium must be imposed upon these weapons.



3) If, after independent and unbiased study has been completed, the Taser is going to remain in the police arsenal, it must be placed at a level equal to lethal force on the continuum of force and used only as a second-to-last resort.



4) Safety standards must be developed for Tasers. There are currently no Canadian safety standards in place for this weapon.



5) Police must not be allowed to investigate themselves but must be subject to independent and unbiased civilian oversight.



6) Families of people who die in police custody in Canada must be provided with funding so that they may be properly represented by legal counsel.
