Accompanying data tables are available at 鈥�Police use of Taser statistics, England and Wales, 2009 to 2011: data tables鈥�.

Every time a Taser is used (fired, angle-drive stunned, drive stunned, red-dotted, arced, aimed or drawn) a record is made by the police officer and a short form is submitted.

The publication includes these sections :
