As Staff Superintendent Federico said, the chief of police thinks the taser can be a useful alternative to lethal force. He had a report before the board in July, recommending that the board consider a wider deployment of tasers. We did not deal with it at that time. We requested the chief to come back with more information and a business case. Particularly, as I have mentioned, there are concerns among board members about medical effects and long-term effects, and we wanted the chief to be able to report back with further information from international research that has been done.
Then last month we had a public forum, where we invited the chairman of Taser International, Mr. Tom Smith, to come and answer questions publicly about the device; however, somehow the impression got around that we were very close to ordering thousands of the device--I believe it even had a positive impact on Taser's share price in New York--but we had no such intention. The situation is that the chief needs to come back to the board with a more detailed report, at which time the board will have to discuss his recommendations in public and make a decision.
So there is no plan right now to buy millions of dollars' worth of tasers.
