Having undergone training for the past two Saturdays the ville's police officers have all been certified and are now carrying the new "taser" guns that were made possible with some generous donations. The donations were from some of the clubs in town. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head is the VFW & the Eagles. There may have been others that I forgot.
The guns aren't actually "tasers". I think that is a brand name but their effect is the same. They shoot a bolt of electric current that renders the target incapable of aggressive behavior allowing the officer time to put the culprit in restraints. Usually harmless the effect of being hit with that bolt of electricity wears off quickly. It's a form of non-lethal defense when belligerent offenders of the law want to show the officer how tough they can be.
Shown here with one of the new weapons is Patrolman Dan Saracco. Saracco said all the WPD officers are now equipped with the guns.
With a little help from our friends the WPD is being able to move into the 21st century.
