Show Notes
Connecticut State Police are adopting a new Axon Taser, the T10, to enhance non-lethal force options. This $120 million technology package, funded by $10 million annually, also includes virtual reality training tools and body cameras with real-time translation for up to 50 languages. The T10 fires one probe at a time, delivering 1000 volts, and features a deterrent noise and light. Troopers have successfully deployed it in the field with positive results. The new body cameras simplify language barriers and virtual reality training offers endless scenarios for practice. The full rollout aims to improve non-lethal options, especially in mental health cases, following recent incidents where Taser attempts failed.
