Tasers are a powerful tool used by law enforcement officers to subdue unruly individuals. However, improper use can lead to serious injury or even death. That’s why it’s crucial for officers to undergo proper training in taser use.
One important technique in taser training is understanding the physiological effects of the weapon. Tasers work by sending an electric shock to the muscles, causing them to contract and ultimately incapacitate the target. Understanding how Tasers affect the body can help officers use the weapon more effectively and avoid unnecessary harm.
Another important aspect of taser training is proper deployment. Officers must be able to quickly and accurately aim the taser at the target, and understand the appropriate distance for deployment. They must also be aware of the risks associated with deploying a Taser in certain situations, such as when the target is standing near water or flammable materials.
Finally, officers must be trained in the aftermath of Taser deployment. They must be able to quickly and effectively provide medical attention to the target, and document the incident thoroughly.
As a leading provider of high-quality training manikins for the public safety sector, we understand the importance of realistic and effective training. That’s why we developed a brand new product intended to help train law enforcement and security personnel in the use of Tasers.
Introducing the Ruth Lee Manikin Taser Training Vest and Leg Guard. This innovative new product provides a safe and realistic training experience for officers training in the deployment of Tasers. The vest and leg guards are specially designed to fit our manikins, allowing for hands-on training in taser deployment techniques. Made with highly tough, flame-retardant materials that are durable enough to withstand multiple uses, but forgiving enough to allow the barbs to penetrate, enabling officers to see the effects of the taser and practice removing probes safely.
One of the first Taser Trainers to get their hands on this brand-new product and test it within the training environment was Keven Tansley from South Yorkshire Police. He said:
“Prior to using this the only way officers could meet training criteria of barb removal was by using one of the qualification shoot targets. Using the attachments on the manakin means this process is much more realistic when compared to pulling barbs out of a flat almost weightless target board. having the ability to use a Ruth Lee to demonstrate probe removal has also made it easier to apply barb removal into summative scenarios as we can have the manakin on standby with live barbs attached that can be brought in for the probe removal requirement with ease.”
We are now accepting orders for the Ruth Lee Manikin Taser Training Vest and Leg Guard. For further information or to place your order please get in touch on mail@ruthlee.co.uk or by calling 01490 413282.
