The TASER X3W Wildlife ECD has been optimized for wildlife management professionals.

Overview:

The mission of TASER International is to PROTECT LIFE. While, the focus of our core technology has been protecting human life in the law enforcement and in civilian markets, through a multi-year research partnership with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG), we have determined that our core technology may offer wildlife professionals a tool to protect both human and animal life during wildlife management activities.

Our research partnership has suggested that our core technology may be useful for animal hazing, aversive conditioning, brief capture, injury assessment, and human safety. While TASER International believes that the key to decreasing human-wildlife conflict is a broad, conservation-based strategy focusing on human behavior modification, we believe that our devices offer a great tool to supplement current wildlife management tools.

Our core technology has been used in the law enforcement field since 1999 with an excellent record of safety. There have been an estimated 1,000,000 field uses, with over 4,000 in formal fields use studies. In the largest of these studies, with over 1,000 uses, injuries were minor in 99% of suspects. There have also been an additional estimated 1,000,000 training exposures with no deaths. Laboratory studies involving over 500 study subjects have provided a robust medical safety literature.

Through our research partnership with ADFG, our devices have been used on Alaskan Brown Bear and Alaskan Moose in both research and field use. The research and field use has suggested that the devices are safe and effective to use on these animals. There have also been anecdotal reports of field use on white tail deer and Arizona javelina with no reports of morbidity or mortality. TASER International is actively involved in ongoing research.

TASER International is committed to protecting both human and animal life. TASER’s wildlife devices are not intended for sale to the general public and the company has developed and recommends completion of their wildlife-specific training program for all agencies and non-governmental organizations purchasing the devices. As an extra level of commitment, TASER International will offer wildlife specialists to consult with your agency to comprehensively review your wildlife mitigation strategies. TASER International also will donate $25 per device sold to The Wildlife Society.
