Axon’s T10 model is able to fire at up to 45ft (13.7m), almost double the distance of the Taser 7 which works at up to 25ft (7.6m), Alex Lowe, UK and Ireland regional director at Axon, said. The device also provides an auditory warning, if activated by the officer before firing, alerting the public and serving as a deterrent to offenders. About 20 police forces have already signed up for the new devices, which cost roughly the same as the previous model, Mr Lowe added. “Officers who volunteer to carry Taser are highly trained, and in 92% of cases its presence alone defuses danger swiftly and safely.
