Home Office Scientific Development Branch - TASER Trial Report
The Home Office Scientific Development Branch has published its evaluation of the TASER trial:
The report is largely statistics, with little interpretation. Tables of uses of TASER by both firearms and non-firearms officers have are included.
A surprising statement is:
Four incidents involved multiple subjects being recipient of a single TASER drawing or arcing usage i.e. crowd control (numbering: 4, 10, 15
and 50 subjects)
That’s an additional 75 people who’ve been threatened with TASERs than the figures widely publicised this week suggest.
This report states two dogs had TASERs fired at them during the trial.
