What is the effective range of the issued tasers?

The effective range of issued tasers is approximately 25 feet. This range is designed to ensure that an officer can deploy the taser effectively in scenarios that may involve distance, allowing for a greater safety margin compared to engaging in close combat. The capability to incapacitate a subject from this distance allows law enforcement to control a situation more safely, reducing the risk of injury to both the officer and the suspect. While some tasers may have capabilities that can reach further, the typical operational standard for many issued models, including those used by police forces, is set at around 25 feet to balance effectiveness with safety considerations during deployment.
