I am in charge of implementing all of our less lethal, non-lethal programs. A big part of that has been starting up our Taser 10 program and implementing all of the new product.

With the Taser 10, we are able to maintain officer safety by our standoff distance and still have really good results when it comes to that less lethal option.

One of the benefits of the Taser 10 technology is that whenever it is armed, which is being turned on, it will activate all bodywn cameras in the area as well as any squad cameras. This allows for an officer to ensure that if they are in um a more dynamic situation that even turning on their taser will automatically activate their bodywn camera and start that recording process without them having to physically do it.
