Members of the NYPD's highly trained Emergency Services Unit will undergo a refresher course on the use of Taser guns today.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly ordered the retraining for all 440 ESU members.
The training session at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn will also focus on dealing with emotionally disturbed people.
It comes in the wake of the death of Iman Morales, a Brooklyn man who fell to his death Wednesday after being tasered by an ESU officer.
The NYPD said the officers involved violated department guidelines.
Lieutenant Michael Pigott, who ordered the Taser shot, has been stripped of his badge and gun.
Officer Nicholas Marchesona, who pulled the trigger, has been placed on desk duty.
