P1 Photo of the Week: Experiencing the effects


All Seminole, Fla. police officers are required to “experience the effects” of a TASER prior to becoming an operator. This allows the officer to obtain confidence in the product, allows the officer to understand that if for some reason they are exposed to the taser during duty that they will survive and finally it brings credibility to the courtroom or investigation when questioned on how the taser effected their client. This photo was taken as part of orientation for cadets who had just graduated the police academy, and Officer Brian Conley is truly experiencing the effects!
