What is a TASER?
• A device that utilizes electricity to completely
incapacitate an individual
• The most effective non-lethal device used by
law enforcement to date
• It is not a firearm
• Very low risk of injury

Definitions

Electronic Control Devices use propelled wires to conduct energy
that affects the sensory and motor functions of the central nervous
system.
The TASER X26 and ADVANCED TASER M26 non-lethals are
conducted energy weapons manufactured by TASER International,
lnc. in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Technology
• The human
nervous system
communicates
with simple
electrical impulses
• The TASER
technology uses
similar electrical
impulses called
TASER-Waves

TASER X26- Constructed of impact resistant sonic welded
polymer & stainless steel shock plates. Mass = 7 ounces.
Available in yellow coloration.

Medical Information

TASER technology saves
lives every day
Numerous medical and police studies
have shown that TASER systems
dramatically reduce injuries to both
officers and suspects, and the use of
TASER technology is proven to reduce
the number of police shootings and use
of lethal force.

Myth:
High Voltage is Dangerous
• Van De Graaff Generator
1-20 Million Volts
• Static Discharge - Door Knob
35,000 to 100,000 Volts
• TASER:
•50,000 Volts

“ It’s not the volts that are
dangerous,
it’s the amperes”

TASER: Low Current

TASER Technology Independent Reviews
• The TASER devices are among the most extensively
researched and studied non-lethal technologies.
• Medical experts studying TASER system have found
it to be one of the safest use-of-force options.
• Various boards of medical experts as well as studies
in the United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland,
Canada, Australia and other nations, confirm the lifesaving value and safety of TASER technology.
