I am excited to be implementing this less than lethal alternative as a part of our officer’s options in use of force situations. It is our responsibility and obligation, to seek alternatives to deadly force, and to do our best to protect our citizens, while also supporting the safety and well-being of our officers. I truly believe this is a viable alternative that will help my department, as well as many others, bridge the gap of safely gaining compliance when necessary, and rebuilding vital and sustainable relationships with the citizens of our communities. Byrna is the answer we have been seeking.
