90 Tasers approved for Charleston Police Department

City Council is approving ninety tasers for the Charleston Police Department. The total price tag is just under three-hundred-thousand-dollars. Earlier this year, Mayor Amy Goodwin requested that Police Chief Tyke Hunt to submit a plan of action that would train all officers in de-escalation and use of non-lethal force. That request came after a use-of-force incident where no officers on scene were carrying a Taser.
