TASER International Core Business Revenue Growing for Third Quarter
Receives Two Orders from Existing Customers to Increase Patrol Level Deployments

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., August 17, 2007 – TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR), a
market leader in advanced electronic control devices, today announced two orders from law
enforcement agencies. The first order originated from San Diego County Sheriff’s Department
in San Diego, California for 205 TASER® X26 Electronic Control Devices (ECDs) and related
accessories. This order increases their TASER X26 inventory to 1039 TASER ECDs for its
2100 sworn officers. The second order originated from Brevard County Sheriff’s Office in
Titusville, Florida for 200 TASER X26 ECDs and related accessories. Brevard County Sheriff’s
Office more than doubled its existing arsenal of TASER ECDs with this order.
“We believe the TASER system provides the best readily available force option on the market,”
said Sgt. John Pokorny of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. “We've long been a
leader when it comes to less-lethal-force options. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the use of lethal
force by providing reasonable alternative-force options,” continued Sgt. Pokorny.
“Our orders are growing from repeat customers contributing to our strengthening base-line
business,” commented Tom Smith, Chairman and Founder of TASER International. “These
follow-on orders include TASER ECDs, TASER Cartridges, and related accessories. Many of
our 11,500 client agencies are increasing the number of TASER ECDS for their patrol level
officers to protect life. This growth is helping to shape what looks like a strong third quarter.”
The two orders are expected to ship in the third quarter of 2007.
