Final answer:

In the event that a member discharges a firearm or electronic control device resulting in contact or injury, typical protocol might involve immediate suspension, mandatory reporting within 24 hours, additional training, and internal investigation depending on the agency's policies.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a member shoots the 40 or ecd (usually referring to a firearm, a 40 caliber handgun, or an Electronic Control Device like a Taser) and makes contact with a person resulting in injury, the response protocol would typically be guided by the specific policies of the law enforcement agency or security establishment they are part of. However, commonly across many jurisdictions, the following might occur: the officer may face an immediate suspension depending upon the severity and circumstances of the incident, must report the incident within a specified timeframe (often 24 hours), receive additional training, and most likely face an internal investigation to determine the details of the incident and establish if policies and procedures were correctly followed or if any violations occurred.
