Taser a highly accountable tactical option

He said:

“Every use of Taser is reported and scrutinised by a supervisor and officers are personally accountable to the law each time their Taser is drawn.  Officer’s receive specialist training that helps them to determine the best course of action in resolving a violent or potentially violent situation.  Taser is one of many tactical options a police officer can use.  In 80 per cent of Taser uses in the UK, the mere presence of the device is enough to resolve the violent or  potentially violent situation without any force being used.”
