KYIV, Ukraine, Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon Enterprise Inc and Axon Public Safety, BV announced today that the Department of the National Police of Ukraine will equip officers with TASER conducted energy devices (CEDs). The agency will deploy 200 TASER X2 CEDs between September and October as a critical safety and de-escalation tool to safely handle situations and reduce injuries to officers and the public.
"The National Police of Ukraine will start using TASER CEDs for its operations, which is a completely new tool for law enforcement agencies in our country. We have carefully studied the usage of these devices globally and believe that equipping our units with this innovative device will make them more effective in protecting the rule of law and civil order," says Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Mr. Anton Gerashchenko.
