RE: Request for City Council Work Session on the Police Taser Implementation
Introduction
The purpose of this memo is to request a work session to update the City Council on
the Police Department's Taser Training and Implementation.
Background

lethal force option, for issuance to all sworn police officers of the Dubuque Police
Department. Starting July 18, 2022 through August 15, 2022, all sworn members will be
trained in the use. As part of the FY23 budget process, council members asked
questions about training and use that included policy, training and implementation.
Discussion:
As part of the work session, members of the Dubuque Police Department will present
on the Taser Policy, Taser Training, Taser Implementation and will answer Council
Member questions.
Recommendation:
Schedule a City Council work session for October 3, 2022 from 5:30 pm to 6:20 pm.
