Saskatchewan Police Commission: Energy Weapons

Municipal Police Officers Dept: The decision comes after a five-year review of the controversial conducted energy weapons by the Saskatchewan Police Commission, according to CTV. The commission s decision only authorizes the use of Tasers in situations where there is imminent and high risk to officers or the public and where other use of force options would be ineffective or inappropriate, said commission chairman Paul Korpan and municipal police officers in Saskatchewan will soon be allowed to carry Tasers. It says the use of Tasers will be subject to strict controls, including a review each time one of the weapons is used. Municipal police officers will have to be trained and certified before being allowed to carry a Taser. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
