Rejected petition Arm all Metropolitan Police Officers with Tasers

Police Officers need to be safe on the Streets

More details

I think that all of our Police Officers should carry a taser. They need to protect themselves as well as us. With the 20,000 police jobs promised by our Prime Minister and the mention of ‘stop and search’ being reinstated, our Police Officers need to have the confidence and the ability to protect themselves and us whilst carrying out an essential public service.

This is an operational decision for individual police forces, not the UK Parliament and Government.

You might like to make this suggestion to your local Police and Crime Commissioner, who is elected. You can find out more about Police and Crime Commissioners, including how to contact them, here:
