What the petition asks
In my opinion all Serving Police Constables should have the chance to be taser trained, so this being optional.
I think that with current circumstances from terror attacks to Brexit that Police Constables that server for our country and protect ourselves and our loved ones should have the chance to become taser trained to make those protecting us feel more safe doing the great job they do!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is an operational decision for individual police forces, not the UK Parliament and Government.
