Scottsdale police ban Taser shock training

Citing a concern over possible injuries, the Scottsdale Police Department has banned officers from being shocked by stun guns during training.

The department had wanted trainees to feel the Taser's effects since getting the weapons in 2002 through December.

"Personally, I feel you can experience that by watching videotapes," Police Chief Alan Rodbell said. <snip>

Phoenix prohibited officers from receiving the 50,000 volts of the Taser after two trainees were injured. <snip>
