I'd like to thank everyone who donated to my cause, to the officers who took care of me through the demonstration and give kudos to the other volunteers who literally shared my pain.

The class also learned about the mindset officers use when it comes to the Taser they wear on their duty belts. Wells says they are trained to use the weapon under certain conditions and learn what situations are not ideal for Taser use. They learn who could be seriously injured by the device, whether from the inevitable fall or the shock itself (which is much less likely). We discussed the types of people an officer would likely not taser due to medical conditions, age or situational factors.

The first and most obvious was that being tased hurts more than anything has ever hurt. However, the pain was gone as soon as that five-second "ride" ended.

I learned many things Wednesday night at the Great Falls Police Department's Taser demonstration for the Citizens' Academy.

Wells said that he would likely never have a reason to tase someone my size in the field (I'm 4 feet, 10 inches) because I wouldn't pose much of a physical threat. Yet, an officer never knows what kind of dangerous situation could present itself until that situation rolls around. Wells did follow up his comment about me with the promise to tase me for demonstrative purposes.

Wells said it's actually the amperes that pose a shock danger. He laid out this stats for the class: a Taser uses fewer amperes than a Christmas light bulb. That eased my mind a bit before the big moment, well, until I realized that despite the extensive research and testing Taser International conducts on their products, I had signed up to experience intense pain designed to completely incapacitate the subject.

I also learned some useful facts about the Taser device from Sgt. Jim Wells, the same man who shot the probes and 50,000 volts of electricity into my body. He shared some interesting information about that voltage figure. For example, a static shock on a doorknob carries 35,000 to 100,000 volts. The probes only shock a subject with about 1,500 volts by the time they make contact.

Taser International has spent years compiling statistics about their devices and how they reduce workers' compensations claims due to officer-involved altercations, cut down on injuries to both suspects and officers and reduced the number of officer-involved shootings. These statistics appeared especially true in larger cities. Wells said that before the Taser, officers had the choice between a baton and their firearm when it came to subduing a dangerous suspect.

The other volunteers and I, like 14 Citizens' Academy classes before us, experienced the power of the Taser firsthand. At first I thought I didn't need to be shot with probes and shocked to understand the purpose of the weapon, especially after reading many court documents that explain the circumstances leading to a subject being tased. But now I realize why many people told me feeling the pain and the compliance it induced would be a unique experience I obviously will not forget.

We also learned about the functions of the weapon that protect officers from complaints about Taser use. The devices record encrypted information about each deployment. The cartridges containing the probes drop tiny discs with the serial number of the cartridge. The GFPD has a policy in place to keep officers from potentially confusing their Taser with their firearm.

Plus I have bragging rights now. I was tased. I went through with it. And I raised $500 for the Police Protective Association in the process.
