- How many times did the force use a Taser on people in each year? Please give the number of incidents, rather than the number of individuals.
Please break down by incidents where a Taser weapon was drawn, aimed or fired.
Where a Taser weapon was fired, please only mark this once (no need to note it was drawn or aimed in these cases), and similarly where a weapon was aimed, no need to note it was drawn.
- Please provide a breakdown of incidents by the age of the person who the weapon was used on - if exact age is not possible, please use the following brackets (0-17; 18-25; 25-65; 65-80; 80+).
