SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Police Department will begin training officers with a new type of taser next week.SDPD has purchased the TASER 10 for all its officers. The TASER 10 can shoot probes faster and from farther away but operates at a lower voltage.The department says the TASER 10 is more effective than the X-36P model TASER previously used.SDPD agreed to a $9.7 million contract over five years for the new Tasers, which was approved by the City Council.
ABC 10News requested information on the annual usage and trends but was told a public records request is required. The request has been submitted but records have not yet been received.The previous Tasers used by SDPD held two probes fired simultaneously. The new TASER 10 holds up to 10 probes and can fire them one at a time.“Ten darts is really the game-changer part, along with the distance,” Ramsay said.
