Make the use of Tasers (conducted energy weapon) & Pava spray legal For the use by security professionals with specialist training and a new SIA license with intensive training and police vetting for use by door supervisors & close protection operatives to deal with serious and violent attacks

I would like the government to make this legal because it can help combat the threat of serious and violent crime in communities when there is a imminent threat to the public and the security teams. There is a lot of times where the police response maybe delayed when serious incidents are taking place and that leaves the security professionals defenceless when it come to dealing with weapons and serious assaults when trying to protect the public.
