NC sheriff’s office phasing out TASERs over UOF concerns
By: policeone.com
WAKE COUNTY, NC — A North Carolina sheriff’s office will no longer issue out TASERs to new deputies as it adjusts its use-of-force policies.
According to WRAL.com, several changes were rolled out on Tuesday during a deputy training session that includes phasing out TASERs and changing how police cover high-speed pursuits.
Deputies will now have to go “hands-on” with someone who doesn’t comply with commands and supervisors are now in charge of deciding when to pursue suspects.
