Volunteer Special Constables will be allowed to use Tasers for the first time in an apparent bid to cut crime and make our streets safer.
No10 says the volunteers will be given access to the equipment so they will not be at a disadvantage when facing armed attackers.
It comes months after the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) noted black people were more likely to be Tasered for prolonged periods of time than white people.
