Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $47,704)

We are requesting funding to be able to purchase new Taser 10. We currently have Taser that are no longer being supported by AXON. We have a large population of mental health and drug addiction. By having the non lethal tools at our grasp it allows us a way to de-escalate situations without having to use deadly force. We serve all Emergency Detentions that are signed by our county Judges. This puts our office and patrol division in contact with our population that is dealing with mental health issues and having breakdowns very frequently.
