Farmington, Illinois council buys 2 tasers

The Farmington Chief of Police says that the Illinois Training Board is adopting a policy on the escalation of the use of force. It will regulate the use of Tasers to start sometime after verbal commands but before pepper spray or police dog force.

This is the scariest policy I've ever seen. It's certainly the only one I've ever heard of that places taser use BEFORE pepper spray or police dog force and "sometime" after verbal commands.
