Routinely issue all warranted Police Officers (including Special Constables) with taser

Additional Information

Virtually every day we read in the media of incidents where Police Officers have been attacked with weapons including firearms.

Taser offers a non fatal method of self defence. Officers have carried a baton in one form or another for years and it cannot be denied that a strike to the head is a potentially fatal blow.

Where taser is available it is the first port of call when all reasonable tac comms and primary control skills have failed. Incapacitant sprays, batons and armed response follow in that order.

We petition the British Government to invest in the safety of those who seek to maintain peace on our own streets and keep each one of us safe, by issuing taser to all warranted Police Officers - including Special Constables who voluntarily reinforce the thin blue line.
