UCLA - Powell Library Incident Investigation
At the behest of UCLA Acting Chancellor Norman
Abrams, PARC was engaged to investigate a November 2006 incident in which the
UCLA campus police repeatedly tasered a UCLA student who refused to produce his
student identification after hours in the main campus library. PARC conducted a
seven-month investigation of the facts, including exhaustive research on the
Taser itself, on the policies and practices of other universities and police
departments regarding use of the Taser, and on the best and recommended
practices regarding the Taser formulated by the leading authorities and experts
on the question, including model policies drafted by police organizations such
as the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Police
Executive Research Forum (PERF).
