Every day, our frontline officers work in fast moving and often unpredictable environments - and keeping staff safe will always be our priority. That’s why specially trained prison officers are equipped with taser devices to help prevent the most serious incidents from escalating. Tasers help to: ✅De‑escalate dangerous incidents and prevent violence – often by their presence alone ✅Keep both staff and prisoners safe This means calmer prison wings, stronger stability and a better environment for rehabilitation so our staff can focus on the work that truly changes lives.
