OK, for the sake of sorting out what I think I know about the Spectrum, in what circumstances does the ASP become the highest level of less-than-lethal force? Has the Taser pretty much ousted it as the maximum level of less-than-lethal force?

Where I am, we have Code 7 rooms for overflow where the patient is waiting for a bed. Is this a common practice in the GTA?

I was given the example of it being a lethal force option in a situation such as the suspect is on top of someone on the ground and is going to stab them (or something similarly potentially lethal) and the officer cannot use his sidearm or deploy a Taser because it may hit the victim, and as...

I still strongly suspect that it's a prohibited weapon due to the sheer amount of force it can exert. Anyone familiar with the Use of Force Spectrum knows that an ASP can technically be used as a lethal force option in certain circumstances. I was told by both a local police Use of Force...

Why would a case being Level 1 exclude them from the protocol? I'm just a bit puzzled since Level 1 cases are resuscitation cases and if a patient had a major stroke it's definitely possible that they could code in the bus and become a Level 1.

Having specialized in Mental Health Policy and Practice during my Master's, I can say that this article is a bit distressing, to say the least. There's a few reasons why. First, it elevates the stigma already associated with mental illness. It further legitimizes the belief that "mental...

I was talking to a guy taking a police foundations course the other day and he said that civilians can purchase ASP batons, but they just can't carry them. He even said that the local gun store sells them. This guy is a bit of a bonehead, so I took what he said with a grain of salt. I just don't...

How is that even possible? I'm really dumbfounded as to how an officer can be commissioned without having undergone any training.

I pray for the very same thing. We live in such chaotic times that hopefully things will calm down someday.  :yellow:

The problem lies with the College of Physicians and Surgeons. They just don't regulate enough. In my research for my Master's, the general means of physician regulation is self-regulation based on a consensus model where the physicians offer advice/criticism to each other regarding their...

Thanks for all the info that you've provided me  :nod:!! Shame it was only a TP round. Oh well, I still think it's a really nice addition to my collection :) .

Once again, thank you for the great info!!!  :salute:

TP C36A2

Why is this fuzing system used? I'm going to guess, but is it to essentially direct the contents of the round out into the target?

Wow! Thanks for the outstanding info! I'm so stoked that it's from a Canadian tank!! Once again, thanks!! :salute:

  :o :o :o The Technoviking has been bested?! Is that possible?! The Technoviking is a God amongst men whose boots can crush diamonds.

It is in fact a 105 mm HOW as it has a primer that perfectly fits your description. There's no primer in the 105 TK but I have a question about its lot number. On the side is printed LOT CA-1-13. Does the CA mean that it was Canadian in origin or does the CA refer to the arsenal where the round...

I remember 9-11 as if it was yesterday. It started off at around 0830 and I was in French class when one of my classmates came in late and said that a plane hit the World Trade Center. We all said "There's no way that could happen", gradually we heard more and more chatter about a plane hitting...

At major risk of sounding completely clueless, with interrupted screw/thread type breaches, how is the charge detonated? Basically, what's used instead of a primer as you'd see on a C3's shell?
