Overview

• The province acquired 100 Taser pistols, 100 Byrna launchers, 200 bodycams and 600 cartridges through a March tender led by Governor Maximiliano Pullaro.
• Four master trainers who completed certification in Buenos Aires have now qualified 15 instructors to deliver standardized courses across the province.
• Hands-on exercises follow a strict safety protocol with designated observer lines, tatami-marked practice zones, verbal discharge warnings, five-second dart engagements, field asepsis and ten-minute post-exposure monitoring.
• Tasers deliver an electrical shock to immobilize subjects without causing serious injury, while Byrna launchers fire CO₂-propelled polymer rounds capable of carrying irritant substances.
• Officials plan to equip officers on patrol in Rosario and Ciudad de Santa Fe in September and will use bodycam footage and device telemetry to document every use of force.
