SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- TASER (NASDAQ: TASR) today announced the receipt of an
order for a total of 1604 TASER® X26P™ Smart Weapons
for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The order is an
upgrade of older TASER weapons to the X26P Smart Weapon using the
new TASER 60 annual payment plan that provides warranties and
on-site spare equipment for these devices throughout the five-year
period. The order for 1604 units was received in the third quarter
and is anticipated to ship in the fourth quarter of 2016.
"This upgrade to our less-lethal weapons platform is part of our
continuing efforts to bring new technology to the Las Vegas community, bringing greater levels
of safety and transparency for both the officer and the citizens
they serve," Las Vegas Metro Police Department Sheriff Joseph
Lombardo.
"We are passionate about technology that makes the world a safer
place," says Rick Smith, CEO and
co-founder of TASER International. "Our mission is to make a TASER
CEW available to every officer, so they have the best options
available to avoid injury or death. Our TASER 60 plan provides a
new, cleaner alternative for allowing Smart Weapons to be a
budgetary line item providing better financial visibility."
About the TASER Assurance Plan:
The TASER 60 is a new 5-year annual payment plan that
integrates warranty coverage for an agency's current TASER Smart

coverage:
