Sharp County sheriff’s office to get two new Tasers

Sharp County’s sheriff’s office is getting two new Tasers, marking the first addition of the devices to the office since 2013.

The equipment

The development involves two Tasers for the Sharp County sheriff’s office. The equipment is intended for use by the sheriff’s office, although details about who will receive the devices and when they will arrive have not been stated.

Why the timing matters

The office has not added Tasers since 2013. The new equipment therefore represents the first update to its Taser supply in that period.

What is known

The announcement identifies two new Tasers and places the previous addition in 2013. It does not establish a delivery date, explain how the devices will be assigned, or describe any changes to the office’s policies for using them.

The Sharp County sheriff’s office’s next public update would clarify when the Tasers are received and how they will be put into service.
