‘The realities of frontline policing are changing’ – Gardaí issued with tasers in pilot scheme

More than 120 frontline uniform gardaí have been issued with tasers as part of a six-month long pilot. A total of 128 uniform gardaí across four designated garda stations have been authorised to carry tasers. The move comes as part of a response to violent incidents, with an average of 300 gardaí assaulted each year for the past decade.
