Conducted Energy Devices

Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs), often called stun guns or tasers, are tools used by law enforcement to incapacitate individuals safely. They deliver a high-voltage, low-current electrical shock through electrodes, disrupting muscular control and causing temporary pain and immobilization. The devices are designed to allow officers to manage potentially dangerous situations from a distance, reducing the need for physical force. When used correctly, CEDs typically cause short-term discomfort without lasting harm, though their effects can vary based on individual health and circumstances. They serve as non-lethal alternatives to traditional weapons for controlling or deterring aggressive behavior.
