"POLICE will use their latest electric-shock weaponry only in exceptional circumstances. The force has taken delivery of its first Tasers, which temporarily incapacitate a subject by firing 50,000 volts into them. Chief officer George Le Page said the guns would assist the police greatly and reassure the public. But they could be deployed only in accordance with firearms-issue legislation and not independently."
