Rejected petition Deploy Taser to all UK Police Officers

More details

We as Police Officers believe that we should be routinely deployed with Taser as an additional level of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

All too often there are now situations where we are unable to defend the public or ourselves against attack while we wait for our conventionally armed colleagues to attend.

We believe Taser would provide us with that extra capability to maintain public order.

We also would appreciate the signatures of understanding members of the public.
