Danish Police to Equip All Officers Nationwide With Stun Guns

Danish police will soon carry stun guns in all police districts across the country. Residents and visitors may now see officers equipped with these non-lethal tools.

The move follows a trial that lasted nearly two years. Police tested the devices in three districts. The trial showed that stun guns give officers a safer option. Officers do not need to draw firearms in risky situations.

Police officers across Denmark will receive the new equipment in a national rollout. The measure aims to improve public safety across the country. This report is based on coverage from CPH Post.
