Ludlow Police Bring Back Tasers

Ludlow’s police department may be bringing back Tasers for the first time in nearly two decades, investing $36,000 annually in new tech including body cams, interview room cameras, and ten upgraded TASER 10 units — designed to offer a critical middle ground between minimal and deadly force. Officers say Tasers could have made a tense knife encounter safer, avoiding lethal force on someone in a mental health crisis. The new system includes automatic documentation, safety features, and mandatory training — all aimed at boosting accountability and modernizing investigations.
