June 2007 Never Bring a TASER to a Gunfight


Does you agency's training clearly specify that TASERs are not to be used as a substitute for deadly force?

We train officers that the taser is not a replacement for the pistol, OC, baton, or flashlight. The taser is a great weapon, but officers can become overly dependent upon them.
