- From Monday, January 12, testing begins at Göppingen’s Police Operations Headquarters; Freiburg follows on Friday.
- A police evidence-collection and arrest unit in Göppingen will receive Tasers; Freiburg-Nord, Freiburg-Süd, Weil am Rhein, and Titisee-Neustadt participate.
- Tasers are intended as alternatives to firearms, batons, and pepper spray; Strobl says firearms remain decisive during dynamic attacks involving weapons.
- Critics warn about device failures and false security; electrical impulses can have fatal consequences for certain at-risk groups.
Tasers are not suitable for stopping knife attacks or other weapon attacks in dynamic deployment situations. In such cases, the firearm remains the tool of choice.— Thomas Strobl, Baden-Württemberg Interior Minister (CDU), on-site in Göppingen during the Tasers test at the Polizeipräsidium Einsatz in Göppingen.
