Taser:
- The taser should be deployed only to stop danger to the officer and or to stop a fleeing suspect.
- Before deploying, the red dot should be pointed at the suspect in an effort to make them stop. Do this by pressing "E" and stating "RED-DOT, TASER!"
- If they continue, deploy the taser while stating "TASER TASER TASER!". Tase the suspect before saying this, though.
- Tasers should never be pointed at a colleague or any law abiding civilian, even in jest.
CS Spray:
- Used to temporarily blind a suspect.
- If a suspect is being difficult, or being aggressive towards an officer or yourself.
- CS Spray can kill people, use within reason.
- CS Spray will bring a red screen to the suspect, although you will be able to see through it slightly.
Police Radio:
- Use for communication across Essex.
- You should always use your collar number before anything you say on the radio.
- Miss use of the radio can result in suspension.
Handcuffs:
- Used to detain a suspect.
- Before arresting using the baton tool, always read the police caution.
- Never detain from a distance; it's classed as Fail-RP.
ASP Baton:
- Used as a defence weapon.
- Will kill after multiple hits.
- Use if you're in danger from non-lethal weapons.
Lethal Weaponry:
- Used by the Armed Response Unit.
- Only to be used against a gun threat (Even toy guns, such as water pistols, which could be mistaken for actual weapons)
- Only fire upon a suspect if you feel yourself, civilians or your colleagues are in danger.
Please take this into note for your module training and especially policing.

Charles Taylor,
