* **Loose or Thick Clothing**. If the probes lodge in clothing and are too far away from the subject, CEW effectiveness may be reduced. * **Miss or Single Probe Hit.** The electrical current must pass between the probes. If one probe misses, the CEW will not be effective. * **Low Nerve or Muscle Mass**. If the probes impact in an area where there is very little muscle mass (e.g., the side of the rib cage), the effectiveness may be reduced. * **Limited Probe Spread.** Probe spreads of less than 12 inches (30 cm) may result in reduced CEW effectiveness. * **Wires Break.** If a wire breaks (e.g., during a struggle), the current will not flow to the probes and the CEW will not be effective.

An accidental discharge is a Hazardous Practice and a breach of these procedures and **_will result in the suspension from operational use of the Taser_** for the user who caused the discharge to occur. A Taser User who commits, or causes an accidental discharge will, at the first opportunity, **_report it to their Commander/Supervisor._** The Commander/Supervisor will verify and assess the situation and suspend the officer from using a Taser. Where necessary, inquiries are to be made to identify any other Taser User who may have also contributed to the incident by leaving a live cartridge affixed to the Taser. The Commander/Supervisor will then notify the local EDO and a Taser qualified Operational Safety Instructor.
