[0:01] [Music] [0:08] under arrest. [0:09] Make your taser safe. I'm Caroline [0:11] Matura, police officer with Lakeville [0:12] Police Department. I have been here for [0:15] about 13 years. I am in charge of [0:18] implementing all of our less lethal, [0:20] non-lethal programs. A big part of that [0:23] has been starting up our Taser 10 [0:25] program and implementing all of the new [0:27] product. So, a taser is an energy [0:30] weapon. It projects probes down range [0:33] and energizes the subject to create [0:36] neural muscular incapacitation. That is [0:39] a lock up of all of the muscles. So, [0:41] that way they can't move. It knocks them [0:44] to the ground and it gives the officers [0:46] 5 seconds in order to go hands-on and [0:49] then when they come out of that 5-second [0:51] tasing, they are able to safely put them [0:53] into handcuffs and get them under [0:55] control. So, the Taser 10 has 10 probes [0:58] that can go down range at a maximum [1:01] distance of 45 ft. Before, we were very [1:04] limited to either two probes or four [1:07] probes at a distance of 8 to 15 ft. With [1:11] the Taser 10, we are able to maintain [1:13] officer safety by our standoff distance [1:16] and still have really good results when [1:19] it comes to that less lethal option. If [1:22] we have a suicidal male with a knife, we [1:24] are able to stand off, talk to them [1:27] safely, and resolve that by possibly [1:30] using the taser to incapacitate that [1:32] individual. One of the benefits of the [1:35] Taser 10 technology is that whenever it [1:38] is armed, which is being turned on, it [1:41] will activate all bodywn cameras in the [1:43] area as well as any squad cameras. This [1:46] allows for an officer to ensure that if [1:49] they are in um a more dynamic situation [1:53] that even turning on their taser will [1:56] automatically activate their bodywn [1:58] camera and start that recording process [2:00] without them having to physically do it. [2:03] All of the officers at Lakeville Police [2:06] Department are trained in on taser. So [2:08] everybody who is a sworn officer as well [2:11] as all of our community service officers [2:13] and our reserve officers are all train [2:16] in to utilize the Taser 10 and carry it [2:19] out on the road.
