Overview

• The T10 extends effective range to 45ft, can deploy up to 10 single selectable probes, and fires faster than the widely used Taser 7.
• About 20 forces have signed up or begun introducing the device, with procurement costs reported as similar to previous models and deployments authorised at force level.
• Drawing the T10 automatically activates an officer’s body-worn camera and logs the withdrawal, with strobe, laser aiming, and an optional audible warning available.
• Approval follows testing and medical assessments with trials by the College of Policing and the Home Office, supported by a joint implementation plan and VR-based training.
• Campaign groups including the Runnymede Trust and Black Lives Matter UK warn of disproportionate use on people of colour and children and call for tighter safeguards.
