The Ottawa Citizen
The Canada Safety Council has long advocated and fully agrees that standards for the efficacy and use of Tasers must be developed. This is a position shared by many concerned organizations.
Relying strictly on manufacturers' specifications is completely unacceptable. The fact that this has not happened is simply mind-boggling and inexcusable! Think of any other electrical product that is not subject to testing and certification.
Without question, establishing minimum standards would be a step in the right direction to further ensure police accountability and to allay public fears and concerns.
