Evaluering
The Norwegian police’s use of conducted energy weapons A scientific evaluation of the CEW trial 2019–2020
Both the role and scope of action of the police in society are ultimately regulated by legislation. This in turn affects police methods and their use in different situations. Police methods and working methods must be constantly reviewed and developed, and with the support of research, the police can strengthen their methods and increase the credibility, reliability, and legitimacy of their working methods. This report presents results from the evaluation of the trial activities with conducted energy weapons (CEWs) performed by the Norwegian police. The evaluation project began in December 2018 and lasted until 30 April 2021. It was funded by the Norwegian National Police Directorate. The researchers who carried out the evaluation consisted of an interdisciplinary research group at the Police Education Unit, Umeå University, Sweden.
