Just In Time For RNC Convention, St. Paul Police Orders Tasers For Every Officer ST. PAUL -- St. Paul police are about to issue Tasers to all 370 officers on the force. Police say they are a safe way to stop a potential threat, but some people say Tasers are dangerous and sometimes deadly. Police spokesman Tom Walsh says the Taser is stronger than a verbal order and less dangerous than a gun, especially in the case of a violent or unstable subject. "It's a safety issue for both the person being arrested and the officer," Walsh said. "The bottom line is the Taser is an effective device that does not require the use of deadly force."
