  • 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.
