it appears more towns, state police now buying taser after a year of bad press. News Journal file/SCOTT NATHAN Milford police Officer Tim Lord demonstrates a Taser. Milford, the first police department in Delaware to buy Tasers, reports "no problems whatsoever" in using the devices. 02/20/2006 Throughout Delaware, law enforcement officers who have used Tasers say the stun guns have saved lives -- of police officers and suspects. Officers say they have not witnessed the lethal effects cited in a recent study claiming the electric jolt from a Taser is powerful enough to fatally disrupt heart rhythms. "That sounds far-fetched," said Milford police Sgt. Kenneth Brown, whose agency was the first in the state to purchase the gun-like devices that deliver an electrical zap instead of a bullet. "There are a lot of groups trying to stir up a lot of controversy with the Taser. We've had no problems whatsoever." Since Milford's police department began mandatory use of the Tasers nearly three years ago, the agency's 30 officers have used the units about 50 times with no fatal results, Brown said. "We've seen fewer injuries to officers, such as hand, back or knees, typically resulting from arresting combative subjects," agency spokesman Navarro said. hxxp://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060220/NEWS/602200347/-1/NEWS01
