Security personnel have many options available to protect themselves without using weapons that can take lives. A taser is an excellent choice for security guards. A security guard will need to be within 15 feet of the suspect to stop the individual. The taser should prevent the suspect from leaving and help the security guard until backup arrives. Being trained to use such a tool is extremely important and why our Templar Security team offers this training.

A Taser is less obtrusive than a firearm. Security guards in a professional environment, such as an office complex or hospital, might prefer a self-defense tool that is low profile. It is a powerful self-defense tool that does not alarm clients, employees or guests.

The Taser is a use of force and is to be used only when necessary to overcome resistance while affecting an arrest, preventing an escape, in self defense, or in defense of another person from physical harm, and in accordance with this department’s use of force policy.

Axon Enterprise, formerly known as Taser International, makes the most popular brand of stun gun, the Taser.

Reported in the New York Times Axon stated the devices save lives and prevent injuries. “Our mission is to protect life and we prioritize safety above all else.” The company also stated, “Taser weapons are not risk free but they are proven safer than batons, fists, take downs, tackles and impact munitions.’’
