Which statement is true about CJSTC endorsement of CEWs?

• A. The CJSTC endorses specific models
• B. The CJSTC endorses all CEW models
• C. The CJSTC does not endorse any specific type or band of CEW
• D. The CJSTC prohibits CEW usage

Answer: (C)

CJSTC keeps CEW policy neutral and focused on training and safety rather than picking winners among devices. They establish the required training, certification, and use-of-force guidelines that officers must meet when using CEWs, including safe handling, deployment, and maintenance. Because technology evolves, endorsing specific models or frequency bands would quickly become outdated and could limit agencies’ procurement options. By not endorsing any particular type or band, CJSTC ensures that officers are trained to use CEWs safely and legally, regardless of the device they carry.
