Use of Firearms. 83. Officers shall not possess or use unauthorized firearms or ammunition, or obtain service ammunition from any source, except through official EHPD channels. All officers’ firearms shall be filled with the capacity number of rounds while on duty. 84. Officers shall not fire at or from a moving vehicle, unless use of lethal force is justified by something other than the threat from the moving vehicle; shall not intentionally place themselves in the path of or reach inside a moving vehicle; and where possible shall attempt to move out of the path of a moving vehicle before discharging their weapon. 85. Officers shall successfully qualify with each firearm they are authorized to use or carry on-duty pursuant to Connecticut requirements. Officers who fail to qualify shall immediately relinquish those firearms on which they failed to qualify. Those officers who still fail to qualify after remedial training within a reasonable time shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. 86. Critical firearm discharges by officers on- or off-duty shall be reported and investigated. Data and analysis related to critical firearm discharges shall be tracked in EIS and EHPD's Use of Force Annual Report.
