OCEAN CITY – The resort’s latest crime fighting tool, Tasers, has
proven to be safe and effective, according to the Ocean City Police
Department (OCPD).
Last February, the Mayor and City Council approved the OCPD’s Taser
X2 Program, which is a pilot program to have trained officers carry the
Electronic Control Device (ECD) while on duty.
According to the Chief of Police Bernadette DiPino, to date there has
been a total 19 Taser “displays”. This is when the ECD is intentionally
removed from the holster and displayed to an uncooperative subject or
displayed at a potentially volatile scene in an effort to gain voluntary
compliance.

I guess those 4 dedicated officers to watch over visitors arriving into town every morning from Route 50 will be more successful in gaining approval for searches now. They should name the intersection "The Berlin Wall".

ReplyDeleteMrs. DiPino does not mention the ever increasing DEATH toll fast approaching 800 human beings from the use of these electrocution torture devices in the hands of sadists. Usually in skirmishes they incite with typical immediate over response.
OCPD is nothing to be proud of as corruption, favoritism, Omerta and extortion are the guiding force.
Not to mention, young punk bullies with gun's willfully abusing their authority imposing laws they actually just make up as they go according to their personal beliefs.
They are nothing but a big show.
A publicity coup for all to see the intimidation.
Funny, since that's not what they are doing. More clueless citizens.........
