(From the Aurora-Marionville Police Department)AMPD took delivery of and will be deploying four new Taser 10 Tasers. In previous versions, the cartridge only fired once.
If the Taser failed, officers had to move quickly into a different level of force, possibly deadly. This made things more dangerous for officers and suspects.
With this new version, the Taser is loaded with 10 darts that can be fired in semi-automatic fashion. This gives us nine more chances of ending a dangerous situation safely and hopefully without injuries to suspects and especially our staff.
Additionally, these units are equipped with high definition cameras that record the events leading up to Taser deployment to be used for evidence and accountability.
