“We are pleased to see these two orders, from the Montgomery County Police and the San Bernardino Police Department, that will allow more of their patrol personnel access to our TASER X26 units to protect life,” commented Tom Smith, Chairman and Founder of TASER International. “The 234 TASER ECD units purchased by the Montgomery County Police supplements its previous inventory of over 250 TASER ECDs units for its 1,200 sworn officers.
