The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), and the Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD), has an urgent request to purchase Four Hundred Fifty (450), Axon Tasers. The current Axon Taser 60 Program will expire on October 14th. Axon will not be able to honor the warranty or product liability coverage after October 14th. If MTPD continues utilizing the tasers after that date; WMATA/MTPD will assume all liability and the tasers will be out of warranty. MTPD has proven that the use of Tasers has been vital in several incidences of de-escalating dangerous and potentially life-threatening situations. The deployment of the non-lethal equipment appears to have reduced the rate of injury to offenders and officers who might otherwise be involved in more direct physical conflict.
