While some officers see black people as more threatening and thus use a Taser electrical weapon, the study said the biggest reasons for the racial disparity was not decisions by individual officers.

Our police officer costume for women includes one police jumpsuit, one police hat, one baton, one hand cuff, and one walkie-talkie.

Use of the weapon in official statistics does not necessarily mean it is fired at a suspect. The official figures include where it is unholstered and a suspect threatened with it, and also where a suspect is “red dotted”, where the red laser used to aim the device is visible to a suspect, often leading them to obey an officer’s commands. It is fired in about a tenth of incidents.

“We welcome the findings of the report and are committed to thoroughly reviewing the content so that we can make appropriate changes to have a positive impact on the lives of black people.”

Officers are more frequently deployed into higher crime areas, which tend to have acute levels of poverty and higher ethnic minority populations.

Google: Reminiscent of Robocop, Google Glass is a wearable computing device that provides information to the eye-line of the wearer on a small screen inside of a pair of glasses. The device records video and could also supply the wearer with instant information about a suspect when integrated with facial recognition software. This technology is in its very early stages with regard to police use. The NYPD ran a test program in early 2014 and the Centerville, G.A. police department tested Google Glass earlier this year. Some departments are already concerned about durability, battery life and cost (about $1,500 a pair).

The Taser electrical weapon has been linked to several deaths in the UK. Officials insist it is safe for widespread use but some campaigners claim it should be curtailed or banned.

TASER: TASER, (known for the police tool of the same name) is the current market leader with more than 41,000 of its Axon models sold to over 3,500 agencies as of June 2015. The cameras come with a safeguarding feature that prohibits users from deleting video and marks it with a security hash to prove that the video has not been altered. TASER supplies cameras for police agencies in Dallas, Salt Lake City, New Orleans, San Diego, Los Angeles and Tucson.

Chief constable Lucy D’Orsi, who speaks for the NPCC on use of the weapon, said: “In 2019-20 black people were eight times more likely to have it used on them. Whilst figures from 2022-23 stats have shown a reduction to 4.2 times more likely, it is vital that we question why that is and take action.

The Axon Body is clipped onto an officer’s uniform (usually the chest area). Axon constantly records video in thirty second clips, overwriting old video as it records. If an officer wants to record something important, he or she lets Axon know by pressing a button, which will save the video for later — including the thirty second window of footage before and after the important event occurred. When the officer’s shift ends, he or she plugs the Axon into a docking station that transmits all saved recordings to the police department’s servers or to a cloud-based storage service. Axon’s battery life is twelve hours – long enough to last through a shift.

The report found that officers need to be taught when not to use a Taser electrical weapon and deploy de-escalation skills instead: “Our data suggested an institutionalisation of Taser had occurred such that the question for control room staff had become not ‘can we justify sending Taser officers’ but, rather, ‘can we justify not sending Taser officers’. .”

The report says: “Our study suggests it may be a combination of societal issues and institutional policing priorities, policies and practices which are systematically and disproportionately affecting black and other ethnic minority communities in deprived neighbourhoods relative to the populations of more wealthy surrounding, predominantly white areas.

Inquest juries have found that its use played a part in the deaths of Jordan Begley in 2013 in Manchester, and the death of Marc Cole in 2017 in Falmouth. In 2021 a police officer was convicted of the manslaughter of former premiership footballer Dalian Atkinson having kicked him in the head while he was on the ground, and also having fired the weapon into him for 33 seconds – longer than recommended.

It follows the biggest ever academic study of the police’s use of the weapon, which found officers increasingly see it as a tool that can get suspects to comply, rather than a potentially lethal item.

Last week in part one of our two-part blog we took a look at the early use of police body cameras and explored a few considerations for police departments rolling out body camera programs. This week we’ll explain how the cameras operate and introduce you to the four main companies that make them.

Report co-author Dr Ben Bradford said: “A central issue … will be exploring whether and how police can change policy and practice to alleviate ethnic disproportionality in Taser use. If this is not possible, then there must be fundamental questions about continued use of the weapon, at least in its current form.”

Its use has grown, it was deployed just under 17,000 times in 2017-18, by 2021-22 this had grown to 34,276 uses. The number of officers issued with a Taser electrical weapon has also increased.
