Ingleside Police to Receive TASER Training

Ingleside police will be training this week with TASER devices, which will enable them to have another form of defense on hand when called to the scene of situations.

The instructor of the training explained to police the various applications of the self defense tool and set up scenarios which provided the officers with the chance to demonstrate real life situations.

It also gave police the opportunity to gain hands on experience with the units, for example dealing with how to aim, the speed of the device and how to reload under pressure.

According to the training instructor, Ingleside Police Department is the very first law enforcement agency to employ the device to its officers in the area. The class, which lasted several hours, is a mandatory form of training for any officer who is going to carry the TASER on them while on duty.

They also had to experience the use of the device on them before they should be issued with the unit.

In today’s society there are more police departments turning their attention to this self defense tool as an alternative device for their officers to use instead of a traditional firearm. Not only is it easy to use, but it is safe as well.

This is why this unit has received such a high rating among police officers and members of the public because of its effectiveness to protect those who need assistance in life from those intent on harming them.

Knowing that there is a device on hand means that officers can rest assured that what they are using will do the job it is meant to do, which gives them more time to gain control of a situation. Furthermore, with the use of a TASER device there is no need for police to come into contact with their suspect when they are apprehending them.

The only time this is necessary is when they are taking the suspect away into police custody. It’s not everyday that such a device is made available, but now that it has it should not come as a surprise that there are more police departments turning their attention to these tools for the added protective measures that they deliver.
