SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TASER
International (NASDAQ: TASR), a market leader in advanced
self-defense tools, today announced it will donate $100 for every five new TASER
Pulse conducted electrical weapons (CEWs) sold to civilians
during the Holidays. Donations will all go to Sojourner
Center in Phoenix, AZ, one of
the largest domestic violence shelters in the U.S. From
December 12-26, all TASER Pulses CEWs
on the TASER Self-Defense store will count toward the TASER
donation.
"We are thankful for the opportunity to partner with TASER
International and work together to support those impacted by
domestic violence," said Sojourner Center's Teri M. Hauser, CFRE, Chief Advancement
Officer, Director of Pet Companion Shelter.
"At TASER, our mission is to protect life," said TASER Director
of Consumer Products Annie
Peabody. "The Sojourner Center is a national leader in
domestic violence shelter and services, and partnering with an
organization that has such massive positive impact directly aligns
with TASER's core mission. The Pulse continues our commitment to
protecting life through safer personal protection
technology. The Pulse is the first of its kind: a small,
discreet self-defense tool that packs the safe knock-down punch
necessary for you to make a safe escape. During the holidays, we
encourage everyone to consider self-defense when shopping for
friends and family," continued Peabody.
The Pulse is the first device to incorporate state-of-the-art
technology into a sub-compact form factor. It was designed with our
customers in mind who wanted a small self-defense tool with the
most effective stopping power available. Many of the carry
improvements include: shaved safeties, sloped 'iron sights,'
targeting laser and high visibility flashlight tucked into an
intuitive design.
The TASER Pulse package includes the Pulse, two disposable TASER
cartridges, a soft carry protective cover, a battery pack, and a
conductive practice target.
