Summary of Request:
The Sheriff’s Office is requesting approval to enter into a new agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. to purchase and implement taser devices, associated training, and licensing for patrol staff effective January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029. The new tasers will replace current aging devices with upgraded equipment and are essential for maintaining the safety and effectiveness of law enforcement operations. The newer models come with improved technology that ensure higher reliability and safety for both deputies and the public. The tasers can serve as a deterrent, potentially de-escalating situations where verbal commands are insufficient but lethal force is not warranted, making encounters less likely to result in serious harm. Implementing this upgraded taser program will include comprehensive training and on-demand certification for deputies, ensuring that proper use is understood and will enhance overall accountability and professionalism.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternate handling.
