Details

In December 2010 the Home Affairs Committee (HAC) took a decision to hold an urgent evidence session to address its concerns that forces were running low on taser equipment. This followed the Home Office바카라 사이트™s decision not to renew the section 5 authority of the sole supplier of tasers in the UK, Pro-tect Systems, following breaches of its section 5 authority.

The HAC published a brief report, 바카라 사이트˜Police use of tasers바카라 사이트™, on 15 February 2011 setting out its observations and recommendations. The government has considered the committee바카라 사이트™s recommendations carefully and this paper sets out the government바카라 사이트™s response.
