The police presented the Tase 10which has an warning alert, a flashing light when it is armed and at the beach up to 44 feet. The taser is equipped with targeted probes, which decreases the probability for agents to use the deadly force.
Greg Dixon, a master instructor of Axon, said that the comments of the Grand Falling police were positive regarding the Taser 10. Dixon, which is based in Madison, was originally in the application of the law for more than 20 years, and says that Taser technology has “radically” changed since its days in the application of the law.
“When I started, there was not the” less deadly options “. We didn’t have these things.
Grand Fall police also showed the Axone 4 bodyA body for the body that activates in several ways, including when the emergency lights on the vehicle of an officer are triggered, when their tasers are armed, or when their handgun is removed from their case.
The body 4 AXON 4 also acts other body cameras and dashboard cameras of squad cars for its colleagues officers, according to Dylan Davis, community resource agent for the department. He says that other partner agencies have already used some of the new Axonal equipment.
Transparency with the public will be the key with regard to new body cameras, says Davis. In a survey of the Ministry of Justice in 2020, More than 60% of Wisconsin law agencies This replied that their officers wore body cameras.
“The documentation is useful, and I think it certainly is responsible for everyone responsible. Whether members of the community, our officers, the judicial systems that use our recordings,” Davis told post-prorocretion. “I think it is very important to show the work we do and to be able to have these transparents when the questions arise.”
According to Axon representatives, body camera equipment is also used in nursing and retail industries to protect employees. The company recently took its fair at various Wisconsin stops, the next set from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 5 at Mequon police department.
“I think it is super useful and important to have these partnerships and get their hands on the technology we use in our agency, and perhaps new things that we do not necessarily have,” said Davis. “But if our officers identify something that says to them:” Hey, we could really use it in our agency “, we can bring this back to our command staff. And when budgeting appears, we can speak to them and understand this type of thing.”
