More police to get stun guns
Sussex Police is to arm more officers with Taser weapons.
Next Monday, the force will join others around the country in allowing some specially trained, non-firearms officers, to be able to use the stun guns.
Around 160 officers are currently being trained in using the Taser, representing around 8 per cent of the force.
Currently only firearms officers in Sussex are authorised to use the guns that deliver a debilitating electric shock.
