INTRODUCTION TO THE ADVANCED TASER PROJECT
From Rick Smith, President, TASER International
DEVELOPING A LESS-LETHAL WEAPON WHICH CAN STOP FOCUSED COMBATANTS
In 1995 we introduced our first less-lethal weapon: the AIR TASER 34000 stun system. This 7 watt stun system
was designed to improve upon the features and usability of the original TASER which had been marketed since
1974. Our goal back then was to retain the same power settings and performance.
Shortly after the introduction, we were invited to demonstrate the AIR TASER 34000 in Prague in the Czech
Republic. The demonstration did not go very well. The demonstration was held at the police academy and was
hosted by the training staff. When the time came for us to get a volunteer, the close quarter combat trainer
selected a volunteer and proceeded to yell and scream at him in the Czech language. This young man was so
“pumped up” that when we shot him with the 7 watt stun system, he managed to fight his way through the effect,
and walk forward to grab the shooter. I was amazed to see this happen, so we asked for another volunteer. The
same thing happened. Leaving the facility a bit confused and certainly dismayed at the results, we set out to
determine why these people were able to fight through a system which is shown to be quite effective in field use.
Since that time, I have come to learn that this problem is not unique to stun systems. It is a problem faced by all
less-lethal technologies. They all rely upon some sort of pain compliance, distraction, or impairment. But no
system I came across was able to stop someone who was focused, combative, and ready to fight through pain,
discomfort, and distraction.
So, in early 1996, we set out to create a system that would reliably stop even these focused subjects. So began
the ADVANCED TASER Project. Our goal was to develop a system which would accomplish two simultaneous
goals:
i.
ii.

The system must be sufficiently effective to cause a physical debilitation in the target sufficient to render
the target incapable of complex motor skills required for aggressive behavior.
The system must be sufficiently safe that the risk of injury or death should be less than that for current
less-lethal technologies such as impact munitions (bean bags, rubber bullets, etc.)

In attacking the problem, we chose to follow the same approach to research as is used in the pharmaceutical and
medical device industries. Before the FDA will approve a new drug, it must undergo testing to ensure it is safe
(has no unsafe side effects) and effective. These tests almost always occur in animal models first, then in human
subjects. We broke the ADVANCED TASER development project into 4 phases: Investigative animal testing,
Quantitative safety verification against mathematical safety standards, In-depth animal safety testing and
sensitivity analysis, and finally human subject effectiveness testing.
I.

Investigative Animal Research

p. 6

The first phase of this program was to investigate the bioelectric effects of these weapons on
mammalian subjects. Humans were ruled out for both safety and ethical reasons. In this phase, we
created a test apparatus which would enable us to test a variety of key variables of the TASER Wave
output such as amperage, power, and pulse duration.
The results of the testing were dramatic. The key variable in the output was the energy in each
pulse. We started with a standard 0.44 Joule pulse (from a 0.22uF capacitor) as used in the AIR TASER
model 34000. Applying this output to the chest of an anaesthetized animal, we saw almost no physical
reaction. There was some minor twitching during the pulses, but nothing too significant. As we increased
the power to 0.88 Joules (delivered from a 0.44 uF capacitor) the twitching increased. At 1.32 Joules per
pulse (0.66 uF capacitor), the twitching was severe. The result at 1.76 Joules (0.88uF capacitor) were
incredible. Even though the animal was completely anaesthetized and could feel no pain, the muscles of
the body went into a complete, uncontrollable contraction. We had achieved the effect we were looking
for: a weapon output that could directly cause the muscles to go into an uncontrollable contraction.

P. 4
It is this effect which lead us to develop the terminology of distinguishing between the low power
stun systems and the higher systems, which we termed Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) systems. It
was clear that at the low power, we could effect the sensory nervous system as exemplified by the fact
that human volunteers frequently found stimulation from these stun systems overwhelming. However, the
fact that focused people can fight through these effects coupled with the fact that the anaesthetized
animals showed almost zero physical response validated that these stun systems were not greatly
effecting the motor nerves and muscles. Once we increased the power up to the 1.76 Joules per pulse
level, the muscles were being contracted completely and involuntarily. Hence, the term Electro-Muscular
Disruption. We had found what we were looking for: the ability to directly disrupt neuro-motor control.
Further, these tests were conducted using a variety of different electrode placements to assess
whether there were any adverse cardiac effects. There were none. The animal recovered without aftereffect.
II.

Quantitative Verification of Electrical Safety

p. 9

The work from Phase I would establish the effect we were looking for, Phase II validated the
safety results from Phase I to ensure we were within acceptable electrical safety levels for humans. Both
UL levels and IEC levels were used for this validation. As shown on the graph on Page 9, the
ADVANCED TASER is well within internationally accepted electrical safety levels.
III.

In-Depth Animal Safety Studies

p. 10

Performed at the University of Missouri, this is the most extensive medical safety testing of any
less-lethal weapon known to me. During these tests, two leading experts in cardiac safety tested the
ADVANCED TASER under extreme circumstances to evaluate if the system could pose a medical threat.
Under none of the applications simulating potential real world use of the weapon was a dangerous
interaction found. Not only did the researchers test the ADVANCED TASER by placing the probes on the
surface of the chest in the locations which are known to have the greatest probability of cardiac
interference, they used hypodermic needles inserted into the chest to directly stimulate the surface of the
heart. They used drugs such as epinephrine, Ketamine, and isoproterenol to see if the ADVANCED
TASER would have an effect on a person under the influence of drugs known to sensitize the heart to
stimulation. They even simultaneously applied the shock from two ADVANCED TASERS (over 52 Watts
of power) directly to the chest regions where the cardiac affect would be greatest. Even under these
extreme circumstances, they were unable to cause a dangerous cardiac fibrillation.
Over the course of three days of testing, in 192 discharges of the ADVANCED TASER, these
researchers administered over 14,000 of the 26 Watt ADVANCED TASER Wave pulses to five animals all
of which are significantly smaller (and hence more susceptible to electrical fibrillation) than humans. Two
leading experts in cardiac safety, purposefully attempting to cause fibrillation by using drugs,
implanted needles to the surface of the heart, and even simultaneously applying two ADVANCED
TASERS to the chest were unable to cause fibrillation with the ADVANCED TASER. I think it
becomes apparent that the chances of a random situation occurring in the real world where the
ADVANCED TASER would pose a risk to the heart is miniscule.
IV.

Human Subject Studies

p. 12

Starting on page 12 is listed a verified registry of over 900 human volunteers who have been hit
with the ADVANCED TASER. I am included in this list myself having taken a hit from shoulder to hip.
The list shows the location of the probes, which vary all over the body from hip to foot to chest, etc. Most
of these volunteers had the probes taped to them, but several were shot with the probes in either the front
or back. There are two things which are consistent about every one of these volunteers. First, they were
all incapacitated – not one of these volunteers could perform aggressive actions while being hit with the
ADVANCED TASER and all had been instructed to try. Second, everyone recovered fully within seconds.
There were no after effects noted other than slight surface irritation on the skin similar to sun burns. This
data strongly supports that the ADVANCED TASER will continue the results of historic TASER technology

in that the injury rate to both suspects and officers will be close to 0% (and will certainly be less than blunt
force trauma techniques). However, the ADVANCED TASER brings a quantum leap in stopping power.

Letter from University of Ottawa Heart Institute

p. 44

This review letter from Dr. Hendry, Co-Director of the Pacemaker Clinic is a good, common sense
overview from a leading expert on cardiac safety that while there’s nothing in life without risk, the risk
associated with the ADVANCED TASER is certainly less than for many common alternatives in
widespread use today.
In summary, we have tested the ADVANCED TASER in a very thorough manner with basic animal
studies, quantitative analysis, in-depth worst case animal testing, and human effectiveness testing in over
200 volunteers. While this human testing was primarily geared at testing the effectiveness of the system
against aggressive subjects, it further validated our animal results that the ADVANCED TASER does not
leave lasting harm. Given the level of testing involved, not to mention the supportive opinions from
leading medical safety experts, and after being hit with the unit personally, I can state unequivocally that
the ADVANCED TASER is a safe, effective means to bring potentially violent confrontations under control
quickly and with minimal risk to police officers and suspects.
I hope this introductory letter helps to illuminate the thought process and philosophy which has guided our
team in developing what we believe is a major advancement in less-lethal weapon technology. If you
have any questions, please contact me directly at Rick@eTASER.com and I would be more than happy to
answer any questions.
Sincerely,

Rick Smith
President, TASER International

Pulse Width (s)
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) have published electrical
safety standards for rms current levels for periodic pulse trains and for single capacitor-discharge type pulses.
The first standard for periodic pulse trains is directly applicable to pulse wave devices like the Sticky Shocker,
while the second standard would apply only if a person broke open a Sticky Shocker projectile and stuck their
finger into the circuit. The UL and IEC safety standards for periodic pulse trains are based on the rms current,
defined as the square root of the average of the square of the current. For a series of discrete pulses of arbitrary
or complex pulse shape this is most easily calculated from the measured energy per pulse into a load
[ Irms =

E( J ) * Rep Rate ( Hz ) / R (ohms) ]1. The UL and IEC safety standards are shown in Figure 2.4-

1, along with the measured values for a number of commercial stun gun circuits2. The UL limits for ventricular
fibrillation have a built-in safety margin of x2-x5, based on a 2-year old child, while the IEC thresholds are actual
thresholds which would induce ventricular fibrillation in 50% of the population. Typical stun guns have a safety
margin of at least x100. Basically, the short pulse duration of stun guns have very little effect on heart operation
which uses much longer electrical pulses. Aside from minor irritation or burning where the arc contacts the skin,
or extended application which could interfere with breathing, there are no electrical safety issues associated with
pulse wave devices. Special thanks to Jaycor Corp. for providing safety levels data in graphical form.

An alternative and equivalent definition is Irms = [I2peak * Pulsewidth * Rep Rate]½.
The safety standards are for Irms versus pulse duration, which is poorly defined. UL and IEC Publication 479 specify three
time constants as the duration of an exponentially decaying waveform, and the method for defining the duration of nonexponential waveforms is even less clear. UL has reserved the right to analyze pulses as they see fit and decide acceptability
on an individual basis. For the figure, we have chosen to plot Irms versus effective pulsewidth, where Irms = [Energy per pulse
* Rep Rate / Resistance]½, and PWeff = [Energy per pulse / Peak power].

Mr. Rick Smith

Scottsdale, AZ 85260
Dear Mr. Smith:
This letter is a preliminary report on our initial studies evaluating the safety of the AIR TASER
and ADVANCED TASER M26 less-lethal weapons, developed by TASER International. Our test
protocol, which was approved by the University of Missouri Animal Care and Use Committee, involved
the administration of 236 shock discharges from either an AIR TASER or ADVANCED TASER to
anesthetized canines (n = 5, 54.2 ± 5.2 pounds). The goal in testing these devices was to estimate the
risk of inducing ventricular fibrillation (a cardiac rhythm disturbance which is fatal without treatment)
via the external application of these TASER devices. The primary emphasis was placed on testing the
newly developed ADVANCED TASER.
The shock bursts from the TASERs were administered using carefully controlled "maximum
susceptibility" experimental scenarios in every animal. To accomplish this goal, the TASER probes
were placed in and on areas of the thorax, which should maximize the potential for adverse cardiac
electrical interactions. The TASER units tested were full power devices intended for use on average
sized human subjects, even though they were tested here on subjects considerably smaller than adult
humans. In justifying this selection, we reasoned that the use of a smaller experimental model should
maximize our ability to observe any adverse effects of the TASERs on the mammalian heart. The
overall results of this testing were as follows:
16 Air Taser discharges through external electrodes in multiple configurations,
induced 0 episodes of ventricular fibrillation;
192 Advanced Taser discharges through external electrodes in multiple configurations induced 0
episodes of ventricular fibrillation
In our testing, the TASERs did not induce ventricular fibrillation with any external application of
the TASER discharge. Electrode configurations tested were either the direct mode of contact (wherein
the darts are placed just under the skin to produce a conductive contact) or the arcing mode of contact
(wherein the darts are placed a centimeter or so above the skin to create an arcing contact). In addition,
to test an even more extreme and similarly unlikely external application, we also simulated the
possibility of the probes being inserted to the point of making direct contact with the heart. We did so in
3 animals, by inserting a separated pair of sterile 20 gauge hypodermic needles through the chest wall, to

a depth of 2 to 3 cm such that their sharpened points just contacted the surface of the beating heart.
Such contact was demonstrated in each animal by observing the creation of ectopic beats of the heart by
slightly nudging one or the other of the needle hubs by hand. The two TASER probes were then
connected electrically to the metallic needle hubs. Ventricular fibrillation was not induced via any of
the 13 applications of the ADVANCED TASER in these animals.
We also tested the effects of the ADVANCED TASER while the subjects were under the
influence of adrenaline type sympathomimetic drugs. Such drugs are known to sensitize the heart to
various stimuli including electric shocks. Specifically we tested both medium and high doses of
epinephrine (which elevates heart rate and profoundly elevates blood pressure) and of isoproterenol
(which lowers blood pressure and profoundly elevates heart rate). No combination of drug or dose was
associated with the induction of ventricular fibrillation via external application of the ADVANCED
TASER. Finally, in one animal we attempted to sensitize the heart to the effects of electric shock by the
intravenous administration of toxic doses of Ketamine. This drug is used in veterinary medicine as a
mild anesthetic. It is chemically similar to, and has a similar toxicity profile (though less potent) to the
notorious street drug PCP. In addition to PCP's tendency to precipitate seizures and bizarre psychotic
breaks in humans, abuse of this class of drugs is known to sensitize the heart to various stimuli as well
as to cause sudden cardiac death in some cases. The Ketamine dosed animal was subjected to multiple
applications of the ADVANCED TASER, and again no untoward cardiac effects were observed.
The use of any device as a less-lethal weapon carries with it a degree of risk to the subject being
controlled, but this risk must be compared to the risk associated with the use of traditional firearms.
With the application of a TASER weapon, the principal risk had been thought to be the induction of
ventricular fibrillation in the subject. Here we purposely attempted to create the highest risk scenarios
we could envision in real-life field settings, and still failed to induce ventricular fibrillation with external
application of the TASER emissions in experimental animals much smaller than adult humans.
Therefore, it may be inferred that the risk of inducing ventricular fibrillation by the surface application
of an ADVANCED TASER to a human is very small. The results of these tests are consistent with, and
expand upon, early stun gun research done at the University of Nebraska in the 1980s. We hope this
work will serve as a stimulus to further research in this important field.

Blaine is a RCMP member with two years of service. He is 29
years old, 5'10", 225; he is big into weights and pushes 405 for
his max bench press. For this test he was wearing a standard Tshirt. One probe was taped to his chest about 3" above his right
nipple. The second probe was taped to his lower left abdomen
about 2" from his belly. The distance between the probes was
about 13-15". A knife was placed 3 metres (10 feet) from Blaine
and he was told to attempt to pick up the knife as soon as he felt
the current come on. Wanting to give him a true point of focus
and motivation, I offered him three days of paid leave if he was
able to get to the knife and pick it up. Upon getting "hit" Blaine
doubled over and fell to his knees however, he kept one hand
out and crawled on "all threes" to the knife and was able to pick
it up. I estimate that it was at least a 3 second burst before I
shut down the unit. Two other "hits" on Blaine (1 -shoulder and
butt; 2- Chest and thigh) were successful in dropping him
immediately.

SWAT officer responded to a violent, suicidal, male, 190 lbs., 28,
5'11, subject who was threatening to jump off of a two story roof.
The subject was also armed
with a large butcher knife and on unknown types of drugs. He
was not complying with officers orders to drop the weapon or to
move away from the roof. The subject was delusional and
without warning, he stood and walked towards officers and
stated "Here take it" and pointed the knife at the officers. Officer
XXX shot the subject from a distance of 7-10 feet with the M-26
ADVANCED TASER and delivered the full five second burst.
Probes hit subject near right chest and right beltline. The subject
immediately dropped to the ground and yelled "Get off, get it off!"
He was handcuffed and probes were removed on scene at that
time with no injuries and without
further incident. Subject's final comment: He asked what had
just happened.

SWAT officers were activated in reference to a domestic dispute
with a male, 50 yrs old, subject armed with a firearm and shots
fired. The subject came out of the house and a police K-9 was
deployed to subdue the subject. The dog took the subject to the
ground, however he was kicking the dog and was not complying
with the officers orders. The M-26 was then deployed at 7-11 ft
with one probe striking and penetrating him in the upper chest
area. The second probe did not penetrate his clothing and
bounced off to the side. The M-26 delivered a 5 sec charge that
was able to render the subject's upper body incapable of
continuing with his aggressive behavior at which time he was
taken into custody.

It was like grabbing an electric cord that you could not let go of
there was no pain, but the shock incapacitated me. You don't
think about fighting back, only getting away from the shock or
complying with the officer
Extreme electrical shock mostly on the left side of the body,
totally incapacitated me. No lasting effects and I could not fight
back.
A strong surge started in the foot where the probe was attached.
A strong hit was then applied that knocked me to the ground.
This is an ideal weapon for less lethal force. This will definitely
save lives.

"A 63 year old subject involved in a domestic dispute fired shots
outside of his girl friend's house, returned to his residence and
barricaded himself inside of his house. The subject refused to
come out of his house after numerous negotiation attempts. The
subject came out onto his front porch with a .22 cal revolver in
his hand and stated that we were gonna have to come in and get
him. The subject then went back inside and locked all doors. The
SWAT team and SRT team members were notified and arrived
quickly at the scene. SWAT and SRT members made entry at
the rear of the house. The subject was in bed with the .22 cal
revolver in his hands. SWAT and SRT members with ballistic
shields swarmed the subject after deploying a flashbang
grenade. The M26 Advanced Taser was used as a touch stun
device and was very effective in incapacitating the subject long
enough to remove the revolver from his hands. No member of
the entry team or the suspect were injured during this incident.

A man suspected under the influence of PCP held his wife
hostage while standing behind an open refrigerator door. An
officer trained by Rick Smith demonstrated the sparks of an M26
to get attention of suspect. He then added the Air Cartridge and
turned the laser sight on to the man. The man asked, "Why are
you pointing a gun a me?" The officer then deployed the M26
firing into the back for 2.5 - 3 seconds. The suspect instantly
froze and went in to a fetal position. His arms were "Jell-O."
The suspect was handcuffed and taken to a hospital (SOP). The
hospital staff informed the suspect that two probes had to be
pulled out. The suspect had no clue that he had two probes in
him and didn't remember what had happened. The officer
reported that despite his training, he was somewhat reluctant to
fire the M26 as he was the first to deploy the M26. He also said
he shut the unit of early to let the area . . .

The effect caused by the advanced taser was an electrical
pounding sensation. This caused total incapacitation of my legs
from my mid shins to my toes. I was totally unable to move or
offer any resistance. Once the M-26 was off I could not resist
attempt to be taken into custody. After a brief 3-5 minutes I was
fine.
Tremendous muscle contraction, disorientation, burning &
tingling. Collaspe no way to fight back was perfectly fine 30
seconds later.

EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED & SUICIDAL WITH KNIFE: At
approximately 12:50 am on 5/28/00 I heard a call go out at
XXXX Mesa Verde on a suicidal subject with a knife. I arrived at
that location at approximately 1:06 am along with Officer
Chadwick, Anderson, and Ulch. We approached the residence
and the front door was ajar. Upon Officer Chadwick getting to
the front door he advised there was a person in a chair with
something in his hand, and then Officer Chadwick advised it was
a knife. Sgt. Ottoson arrived a couple of minutes later.
I got upon the porch along with Sgt. Ottoson. I could see that a
white male, 5'10", 210 lbs., who was sitting in a chair had a small
knife in his right hand and had it pressed against his wrist. The
white male was saying "make them stop" and was getting
agitated and started to press the knife against his wrist harder.
Sgt. Ottoson deployed his ADVANCED TASER M26 but one of
the darts missed the subject and struck the chair he was sitting
in. The other dart hit the subject in th . . .

Capt. Molnar: Last evening, I had another occasion to utilize the
M26 to cause incapacitation of an unruly offender that had been
dousing Correctional Officers with urine. The youthful
(approximately 18 years old) offender was within a segregation
cell and continued to be disruptive and defiant of staff orders to
comply with restraint procedures. Because of the offender's
continued disobedience, the M26 was utilized to cause
incapacitation so that staff could safely enter the cell and apply
mechanical restraints. The target subject was anticipating the
ADVANCED TASER use and made a feeble attempt to block the
projectiles using a pillow. When the laser was raised, subject
raised pillow exposing lower extremities allowing for target
acquisition. The M26 was discharged at a distance of about 12
feet and struck the subject in the lower extremity causing
immediate dysfunction. The target subject was anticipating the

APD Field Officers pulled a male suspect, 43,175 lbs., over for

anti-government. At some point during the initial investigation
suspect rolled up his windows on his camper truck and officer's

then moved to a position of advantage and attempted to make
P.A. announcements to try and get the suspect to exit his vehicle
and surrender. After the suspect ignored all commands given
and began moving about in his camper causing a great safety
concern the SWAT team was activated. The SWAT team was
called for a barricaded armed subject and upon arrival team
members took their positions. After several attempts to negotiate
with the subject he attempted to drive off into the neighborhood
where he was stopped. As his vehicle went forward his tires
were flattened by a spike belt and gas was deployed into the

was immediately incapacitated. The M26 was activated for

probe struck him in the chest area, bottom probe in the waist

should cut himself. The pillow blocked a clear front shot, officers
had to reposition themselves to obtain an angled shot. The

New Orleans SWAT responded to a barricaded suicidal male
subject, 30, 5’9”, medium build wearing no shirt armed with 12gauge shotgun. Subject was ex-Marine sniper who had just
broken up with girlfriend. After several hours of dialogue with
negotiators, subject exited the garage where he had barricaded
himself to speak with a friend. The subject requested water at
which time a bottle of waters was thrown to where the subject
was. 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun was 10 feet away. As he
moved forward to retrieve the water, the ADVANCED TASER
officer deployed the M26 from a concealed position from 8-10
feet away. The TASER immediately took effect causing subject
to fall to the ground, screaming as if in pain. Originally
combative and belligerent, but became submissive after M26
application. The apprehension team moved in and took subject
into custody without injury. Probes penetrated skin at the
midchest and the upper inner right thigh. Incident began at 3:28

advanced, still using the light. The possibility of unseen
weapons existed and the subject also had an effective impact
weapon in the flashlight. Giles deployed his ASP Baton and

the suspect’s right arm and wrist. Subject tensed up and
resisted arrest by struggling. Another officer used knee strikes

A 5’8, medium build renewed his fight with another male subject.
Suspect was thought to originally be the aggressor of an assault
per witness. An officer got between the two fighting males. The
ADVANCED TASER M26 was deployed and pointed at one of
the suspects and ordered to get on his knees. Suspect ignored
verbal commands and balled his fist up and stepped toward the
officer. At 10 feet away, the officer shot the advancing suspect.
Both probes struck the suspect, one in the middle of his chest
and the other in his abdomen near the belly button. The suspect
screamed and his hands shot upwards. The suspect tangled the
wires with his upward moving hand. The officer let the M26
cycle for 2-seconds, but feared the suspect would break the
wires by accident. He then “speed loaded” a 2nd Air Cartridge in
the event another shot was required. The M26 was pointed at
the suspect and told not to move or he would be fired upon
again. The suspect cried out, “No mas, no mas! (meaning no

A suspect was under the influence of PCP. An ADVANCED
TASER was fired at him. One probe hit in the earlobe and the
other in the back. Two activations were cycled without knocking
him down and then he pulled it from his earlobe. Suspect took
three more activations with one probe in his back and he was
noticeably impaired until he fell and was arrested without further
incident. No further injuries reported.

alcohol. The inmates hoard fruit and then allow it to ferment.
Gassing is a legal term in CA and is a crime. Any time an
inmate throws fluids or substances on a deputy, usually his own
waste, this is considered a gassing.) Inmate also had access to
a shank. Two short bursts of Deep Freeze (CS/OC) blend were
directly sprayed on him. This failed to gain compliance. The
ADVANCED TASER M26 was fired through the cell bars from 711 feet away. Both probe probes penetrated skin: one in his
groin and the other in his back. The inmate experienced a full 5second cycle, but the configuration of the cell caused him to be
propped up. It was obvious that his left side locked out and he
cried out in pain. When the cycle completed the M26 was

Due to overcrowding at the County Jail, a 30-yr-old male 5’11,
180 inmate was instructed to put on handcuffs and shackles so
that he could be transferred to another facility. The inmate then
stated that the only way he was going to leave the jail was to be
unconscious. This inmate has been in several altercations with
correctional officers, other inmates and has known to resist
arrest with violence on the streets. The inmate was told twice to
put on the shackles and handcuffs twice and refuse, taking a
defensive stance. He was then shot with the ADVANCED
TASER M26 with both probes penetrating the skin in the middle
chest and stomach. He immediately fell. The M26 was only
deployed once and it was estimated that it cycled app. 3
seconds. There were no injuries to the inmate or the
correctional officers that were involved. Probes were removed
on scene. This was the day after we had nine officers trained as
instructors. Inmate’s comment: “What the hell did you do that

handcuffed and removed to an ambulance. In route to the

An intoxicated male sliced his wrists with a piece of glass and

and refused to obey police commands. An officer stood 4 feet
away and fired an ADVANCED TASER at the subject. The man
fell immediately to the ground during the 5-second cycle.
Officer’s comments: “He was very non-compliant and very
drunk. Even in that state he wanted no more. He said, ‘I’m not
going to move. Don’t electrocute me again.’” The man was
taken to a medical center where a doctor examined him and
found no injury. The man was given a CAT scan to determine
whether the darts and electricity caused any tissue damage.
Subject suffered cuts from suicide attempt but no injuries from

was overturned on its side and was feces on the floor where he
had urinated. Inmate complied officer directions after six officers
were present in a forceful authoritative state. Inmate was
transferred to new cell so his bed could be bolted down and
room cleaned. While in the new cell, the inmate was instructed
to dress in another jumpsuit. The inmate failed to comply and
the ADVANCED TASER was used in the stun mode on the
inmate’s lower back. Inmate tried to move away but the officer
followed him with the M26 so the full 5-second cycle would be
felt. Inmate broke contact only briefly. Inmate again refused to
dress in the jumpsuit and the M26 was applied. The inmate
quickly dressed and was instructed to sit with his back to the

Officers responded to a male suspect's house on report of a
suicidal subject. Officers found the 26-yr-old, 195-lb., 6’4 subject
had destroyed the interior of the house with a baseball bat.
Subject was under the influence of alcohol and retained access
to the baseball bat. He drank rum as the incident progressed.
Subject was extremely emotionally as he recently had his wife,
then his girlfriend leave him. The house he destroyed had been
repossessed. Glass and broken items were strewn all over the
house. This created a risk of injury to the subject and officers if
they tried arrest control tactics, due to possible injury on the
broken items if the fight were to go to the ground. The subject
still had access to the bat, which negated use of a baton, and too
much distance for use of OC spray. After an hour (+) of
negotiations, the subject turned his back on officers and he was
shot with the M-26 in the back from 7-11 feet away. The M26

deputy used the laser sight only from 1-3 feet away. The first Air
Cartridge was fired. The top probe of the first cartridge struck
the inmate in the middle chest, but the lower dart missed. A
second cartridge was fired. This second shot struck the inmate
in the right mid-back and the right mid-arm. After the first fivesecond cycle the inmate stepped down off the seat and put one
hand out the pass through to be handcuffed. The inmate was

officers in a fistfight. The officer pulled out the Air Cartridge and
used the M26 as a contact stun device. The officer hit subject in

Dispatch advised police of a man wandering in and out of traffic
who was suspected to be intoxicated. The man had blood about
his forehead. An officer found the man next to a school and
approached him. The officer noted a “wild eyed look” consistent
with the use of illegal drugs. The man went over a fence. Police
and fire personnel on scene pursued. The male stopped and
crouched next to a tree in an unlit field. The officer announced
himself and that he wanted to help the man. The man began to
run away, and another officer chased the man. The man fell
tripped and fell to the ground. The officer deployed the
ADVANCED TASER on the man before he could get up striking
him in the bare back. The suspect did not react to the TASER
right away. It appeared that his reaction time was 2-3 seconds
at which time he became angry and yelled at the officer. The
man refused verbal commands. The officer applied a second 5second cycle and the suspect became aggitated and began
cursing and yelling at the officer.
A call was dispatched to patrol of a man with a gun. Officers
arrived and found that the suspect did not have a gun. Instead,
he had a knife to his throat. Seattle SWAT heard the call and
responded. A crisis intervention officer arrived and attempted to
communicate with the 30-year-old, 5’10, 170-lb. delusional and

hearing imaginary voices and talking to imaginary people. The
ADVANCED TASER officer, with lethal cover, closed to a
distance of 12 feet. At that time the suspect appeared as if he
was going to run. The TASER officer deployed the M26 from 1115 feet. Both darts hit the man in the mid-right back and the
right calf. The suspect immediately went down. Arresting
officers started to handcuff the suspect prior to the five seconds
