The UH Center for Public Policy (CPP) presented their statistical findings of the non-medical consequences of Conductive Energy Devices (CEDs)

The UH Center for Public Policy (CPP) presented their statistical findings of the non-medical consequences of Conductive Energy Devices (CEDs), commonly referred to as Tasers or stun guns at the Houston City Hall, http://www.uh.edu/cpp/taser.htm. CPP was part of an independent research group commissioned by the office of City Controller Annise Parker to examine CED incidence data provided by the Houston Police Department

. According to the statistical team leader Jim Granato, "When reviewing the CED audit, it is important to note that CEDs are rarely used by HPD. CEDs were deployed in less than 1% of incidents occurring during the review period. However some patterns of use have emerged, which could warrant enhanced officer training."
