Monday's Internet Edition, May 12, 2008. Deputies Adams and Guertin attend Taser training - Chief Deputy Jay Adams and Deputy Carl Guertin attended certified Taser Instructor training in San Marcos at the Police Department last week. The Taser delivers 50,000 volts via nitrogen propelled probes attached to wires with barbs on the end. The barbs are approximately ½” long and pierce the skin or clothes and are effective through up to 2 inches of clothing. Unlike a 110 volt house outlet that delivers 16 amps and is deadly, the Taser delivers less than .0021 amps. The Taser will not harm an implanted pacemaker. The Taser uses NMI (neuro muscular incapacitation). TASER International’s products protect life, providing advanced Electronic Control Devices (ECDs) for use in the law enforcement, medical, military, corrections, professional security, and personal protection markets. TASER devices use proprietary technology to incapacitate dangerous, combative, or high-risk subjects who pose a risk to law enforcement officers, innocent citizens, or themselves in a manner that is generally recognized as a safer alternative to other uses of force. TASER technology saves lives every day, and the use of TASER devices dramatically reduces injury rates for police officers and suspects.
