What is the CJSTC's minimum CEW training requirement if an agency allows carry?

• A. Two hours, annual training
• B. Thirty minutes, quarterly
• C. One hour, annual training
• D. Two hours, monthly

Answer: (C)

The main message is that agencies must provide ongoing CEW proficiency and safety through a yearly refresh. The CJSTC sets the minimum at one hour of CEW training each year for officers who are allowed to carry. This annual session keeps officers up to date on safe handling, deployment criteria, and post-use procedures, while reinforcing legal and policy responsibilities for CEW use. While some departments may require more training or different cadences, the one-hour annual requirement is the baseline. Options proposing more than one hour per year (or different frequencies) exceed the minimum, and thus are not the standard minimum.
