Are TASER devices safe?
Independent medical and scientific experts have determined TASER devices to be a more effective and safer use of force option. Numerous recent independent studies – including an extensive, multi-million dollar three-year study conducted by the United Kingdom’s Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) in consultation with the British Police Scientific Development Branch (PSDB), the British Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and the British Defence Scientific Advisory Council Sub-committee on the Medical Implications of Less-lethal Weapons (DOMILL), as well as a U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) study involving approximately 20 medical and research doctors from a dozen academic, government and private institutions – have reaffirmed the life-saving value of TASER technology.
