TASER Devices Reduce InjuriesInjuries Per 1,000 Exposures
Extensive Safety Support
500+Safety Studies
(10x More than any other force option)
Select Samples of Institutions That Have Published Research on TASER ECDs:
117Patents
Fewer OfficerInjuries
The study found that use of ECWs wasassociated with a 70-percent reduction inthe chances of an officer being injuredcompared to agencies that do not useECWs.
Fewer SuspectInjuries
The odds of a suspect being injuredwere reduced by more than 40percent in ECW agencies comparedto non-ECW agencies.
“All in all, we found consistentlystrong effects for CEDs inincreasing the safety of officers andsuspects,”
• “[TASER] CEDs represent a saferalternative than other use of forcemethods.”
• “Studies by law enforcementagencies deploying [TASER] CEDshave shown reduced injuries to bothofficers and suspects in use-of-forceencounters and reduced use ofdeadly force.”
• “CED use is associated with a significantly lowerrisk of injury than physical force, so it should beconsidered as an alternative in situations thatwould otherwise result in the application ofphysical force.”
• “The risks of cardiac arrhythmias or death remainlow and make CEDs more favorable than otherweapons.”
