PETALING JAYA: There are not enough non-lethal weapons such as tasers in the police’s arsenal for more of its members to use, says Bukit Aman.

Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Depart­ment director Commissioner Datuk Wan Hassan Wan Ahmad (pic), who agreed that tasers are highly effective in defusing a hostile situation with aggressors, said tasers are issued mainly to personnel who go on duty at crime hotspots as they are in limited quantities in police armouries.
