- This is due, among other things, to the fact that the first procurement of stun guns had to be canceled and redone, says Manne Jönsson, chairman of the steering group for ECV and acting unit manager for the development center Stockholm.
He refers to the finance department responsible for the procurement, but no one from there has yet contacted the Police Gazette.
The tests with EVC took place in 2018–2019.
The trial period has been extended pending a formal decision for the entire authority.
The EVC fires an electrified arrow that is attached to the weapon by a wire.
The weapon can also be pressed against a person and in short intervals transmit current.
In addition, there are two warning functions.
The tests have shown that police officers equipped with ECVs experience increased security.
