Experiences of racial discrimination against
missing people and their families
January 2022

"Affected me for life, thinking if I was white they wouldn’t treat me that way."

'It is also important to acknowledge the

Independant Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) on Tasers

Review of IOPC cases involving the use of Taser 2015-2020

The circumstances in which police officers use Taser is an area of significant
public interest.

Tasers provide the police and the community with valuable protection in dangerous situations. The police are able to use Tasers as an option to resolve situations, including the threat of serious violence, when they consider the use of the Taser is reasonable and proportionate to the threat they face.
