1. Customs and Immigration Department

2. Tasers: Proposed introduction into the Island

The Panel considered a proposal received from Deputy M. Tadier for a review of the Minister for Home Affairs proposal to introduce tasers for the  use  of  the  States  of  Jersey  Police  in  the  Island.  Members recognised that there were issues about the use of tasers, including the circumstances in which they could be used, the training and guidelines given to officers and the extent to which they were appropriate for the local  community.  The  Panel  agreed  in  principle  to  undertake  the proposed review and requested its officer to prepare a scope and terms of reference.

Members also agreed to invite Deputy Tadier to participate in the review as a co-opted member.
