Ontario is tightening the rules around the use of stun guns by police.
It will also provide specific guidelines to vulnerable people such as children and the mentally ill.
A draft report obtained by The Canadian Press recommends the continued use of Tasers in Ontario, calling them “an effective, less lethal weapon” for law enforcement.
It asks the McGuinty government to amend current guidelines to include rules about deployment of the guns as well as standardized training for all users and instructors.
