Can you please state how many times officers used a Taser in the past five years?
Can you please break this down for each calendar year? So for clarity, I am looking for separate figures for 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014.
For each calendar year, or financial year if that is how the force records its data, please state how many times the Taser was:
- Drawn
- Aimed
- Red dotted
- Arced
- Fired
- Drive stun
- Angled drive stun
For each of these categories in each calendar year, please state how many times the "IMPACT FACTOR" was "POSSESSION OF A WEAPON". If you are able to provide breakdowns, including weapon type, please do so.
If applicable, please state how many officers within the force are trained to use a Taser.
