Training Taser goes missing from Police training ground
Whilst the likelihood is that the Taser is on police premises, the Force is taking the step of making the public aware on the off-chance that they have any information about its whereabouts.
Training Tasers use batteries that have already been depleted by use by operational officers and , as a result, the remaining life span of the battery only lasts a relatively short time .We are advised that it is now very likely that the training Taser’s battery is now inert and not able to be discharged.

An example of the missing training Taser
We would also remind people that a Taser is a `prohibited weapon’ and, as such, it is illegal for a member of the public to possess a Taser.
The Training Taser (pictured) shows that the missing piece of equipment is similar in size, shape and weight to a child’s toy gun and is bright yellow.
