“The range is too short.” Previous variations had a limited engagement distance of under 25 feet. Given that the TASER is a less-lethal tool that can be chosen to stop potentially lethal attacks, i.e. a knife attack, using proper tactics, 25 feet or less was still considered a bit too close for comfort.

Over 20 years ago, while serving as the training commander for a municipal agency just outside Washington, D.C., I was conducting a training course to certify officers in the proper carry and use of the TASER X26. At that point in time, the X26 was the latest, greatest variation of the energy conducting weapon we’ve commonly called “a TASER” for well over 30 years now. At that time, the X26 seemed like a near-science-fiction variation as compared to its predecessor, the TASER M26. With a 60% weight and size reduction from the M26 to the X26, the newer version also increased effectiveness with the (then) new Shaped Pulse electrical waveform that required less power, but was able to create a greater neuro-muscular impact on a subject.

When it comes to body worn cameras for police, many people think they’re a great way to encourage and enforce better practices in the police force in addition to increasing accountability. A recent Pew Research Center survey revealed that 66% of officers and 93% of the public favor the use of body cameras by officers to record interactions with citizens. However, many officers have serious reservations about the use of police body cams. Here are some pros and cons of body worn cameras for police. PRO: Footage can be used as evidence This is probably one of the biggest benefits of body cameras for law enforcement — the ability to use the footage later on in a court of law if necessary. Without this footage, your case may be severely lacking, depending on what the case is about. But the fact is, footage from both police body cameras and police dash cameras can be incredibly useful in a court of law. CON: Restricted privacy There’s no secret that police body cameras can limit the privacy of both law enforcement and civilians. These cameras are usually on and running for nearly the full duration of an officer’s shift, and they will most likely capture short snippets of random bystanders. Additionally, all footage is owned by the state, so footage of any arrests made can damage the reputation of defendants. So, in large, police body cams can inhibit privacy, but it’s a small price to pay if it means better protocol enforcement by police. PRO: Violence prevention A study conducted in 2013 by the University of Cambridge discovered that both police and respondents become less likely to use violence when police wear body cameras, citing a drop in force rate by a whopping 50%. This serves as very strong evidence that more cameras ultimately mean less violence. CON: Video quality Another concern some people have about police body cams is the actual quality of the footage. While it isn’t possible for it to be perfect due to officers’ movements, lighting, and other factors, it’s likely that there could be blurs or lags in the footage, which can make it hard to properly interpret. However, this is quickly being remedied, as camera technology is consistently evolving. Ultimately, body worn cameras for police are a great way to make the streets safer for everyone.

“The red aiming laser can be hard to see during the day, and there’s no way to distinguish it from the lasers on any other tool being used.” The observation was that the industry as a whole (not just AXON) should adopt a policy of green lasers on less- or non-lethal tools and red lasers only on lethal tools. Truth be told, there’s no way the industry members could control that, but the red laser is/was harder to see during daylight hours.

And about that red laser… the TASER 10 has a green laser which is far easier to see during daylight hours and just as easy to see as red during hours of low or no light. If your agency is upgrading to the TASER 10, we encourage you to adopt a policy limiting red lasers to lethal weapons and green lasers to non- or less-lethal weapons. Such standardized laser usage can help with visual communication on scene.

Now, in 2023, we see the next evolution of conducted energy weapons, the TASER 10. Before we dive too far into the newest tool, let’s take a look at a few of the criticisms offered about older variants of it.

Now let’s jump forward to 2023 and the TASER 10, examining it against the criticisms of previous variants. The first criticism of limited range is neutralized with the new maximum range of the TASER 10: 45 feet. That’s almost double the distance, increasing time to de-escalate a situation, or to engage as necessary to resolve a conflict. Distance equals time and that extra distance is a literal life saver in some instances

The painful (for the officer who fired it) miss, resulting in a mandatory reload has been remedied by engineering a cartridge that permits the officer repeat attempts, up to nine, to get two good contact hits for deployment. The TASER 10 cartridge can deploy individual probes without the need to reload.
