Petition Allow all Police Officers to carry a Taser for their own safety and the public.

After a recent attack on London, it is very important for our Police services to be equipped with methods of dealing with such incidents. As firearm weapons are not a possible solution, an alternative less lethal option is available, a Taser device.

More details

Equipping our Police Officers with such devices shall ensure that if a threat is real and occurring, it can be dealt with immediately. Currently, the Police have to request for firearms officers to attend or a Taser carrying officer if the situation is extreme. This delay can cause injury to the police officer as well as members of the public. With recent incidents, our police officers need to be able to cope with the change, they need to be protected and be able to protect. Equip officers!
