Protecting Life


Overview

TASER International (Nasdaq: TASR) develops, manufactures, and sells electronic control devices for use in the law enforcement, military, corrections, private security, and personal defense markets in the United States and internationally.

It offers two product lines for law enforcement, military, corrections, and professional security markets, which include various cartridges, a battery system, a digital power magazine, download software and equipment, extended warranties, and holstering options and accessories. The company also manufactures devices for the consumer market. 

TASER's products protect life, providing advanced Electronic Control Devices (ECDs) for use in the law enforcement, medical, military, correctional, professional security, and personal protection markets. TASER devices use proprietary technology to incapacitate dangerous, combative, or high-risk subjects who pose a risk to law enforcement/correctional officers, innocent citizens, or themselves in a manner that is generally recognized as a safer alternative to other uses of force. TASER technology protects life, and the use of TASER devices dramatically reduces injury rates for law enforcement officers and suspects.
