Manitoba RCMP deploy Tasers for low force control
In Manitoba from October 2002 about 65 Tasers are used by RCMP members province wide. Sgt. Stu Beasley said Tasers provide a non lethal option between firearms and impact tools, offering quick control with minimal after effects. Training reports show positive field feedback and a goal of one taser per detachment.
