Quarterly statistics on TASER use

Richard Taylor made this Freedom of Information request to Home Office

The request was successful.

From: Richard Taylor

14 July 2010

Dear Home Office,

Could you please provide me with a URL to the quarterly statistics
on TASER use by the UK police.

If these statistics are no-longer being published on any of the
Home Office websites could you please release them in response to
this FOI request.

I would like to suggest proactive publication of these statistics
so that they are available at the time summaries of them are
released to the press.

Regards,

--

It appears the latest TASER use statistics are no longer available on any Home Office website; they are only available via a link to a page archived at the national archives.

It appears the latest statistics on TASER use are still those for the period up to 30 September 2009.

We're waiting well over a year for the figures to be collated and released.

The response promises new figures by the end of 2010. There are just a couple of weeks left for that to happen.

A request, made by "HMP Britain", for the raw data from which these statistics are derived has been rejected:
