Résumé
"PERF and NSA began by convening a focus group of representatives from sheriffs’ departments across the nation to obtain guidance on setting the parameters of the study. The information gathered during the focus group, along with a review of relevant literature, helped PERF and NSA develop a survey instrument to be administered to sheriffs’ offices. The results of the survey were presented to the NSA’s Standards, Ethics, Education and Training Committee and its Accreditation, Detention and Corrections Committee during the NSA’s annual conference in June 2007. Based on the input of these committees, recommended general orders for the use of CEDs and other electronic devices in custodial settings were developed. This report describes the survey methodology and findings, and provides the text of the general orders."--Page 2.
