This brand choice is based upon capability for semi-automatic firing of multiple cartridges that delivers a regulated current, a safety switch activated by placing the unit in the holster, units that are easily identifiable by the public for deterrence purposes and by officers to prevent mistaken weapons under stars, and the smart technology that offers digital current regulation, even if the probe does not penetrate the skin. Axon/Taser was recognized under the CPW pilot as the only CEW on the market with the safety, research and development, product testing judicial case law and proven track record in the industry.
