No seasoned law enforcement officers share your opinion. Here's a note from my neighboring county's sheriff:
My name is Scott Berry; I am the Sheriff of Oconee County Georgia. We have deployed the stun gun TASER for approaching two years, in the jail, on patrol and in investigations.
Since having the air TASER gun available as a use of force option:
We have had ZERO baton impact strikes against violent or aggressive arrestees. We have had ZERO workers comp claims due to fights, struggles, or other events where a TASER was available.
We have had ZERO repeat "customers". Once a stun gun TASER has been deployed, we have not had to deploy it twice against the same individual. In fact, the individual with prior experience is VERY LIKELY to submit to lawful authority.
I can not think of a device in my 28 years that has had the impact on Law Enforcement that the TASER has. Thank you for your product, your customer support, your training and your service.
Respectfully, Scott Berry, Sheriff, Oconee County, GA
