Police volunteers in England and Wales will be authorized to use the Tasers, the Home Secretary will announce.
Priti Patel will say in his speech to the police that special constables must be able to use electric guns when completing certain training.
However this move has been criticised citing potential misuse leading to cruelty on humans as well as animals and with no remedy to it.
The Department of Home Affairs said it would make sure they were “not in a precarious situation” in the face of the attackers.
But Amnesty International called it a “dangerous increase” in their use.
There are about 8,900 volunteers in England and Wales, with the same force and uniforms as paid police officers.
Distribution of Tasers among volunteer officers will be the operational decision of each of the 43 police officers.
Conductive Energy Devices, known by its brand name Taser, detonates high voltage shocks to temporarily paralyze the suspect, and is often used to deal with people who are violent or potentially violent away.
Launched in the UK in 2003, it was initially limited to gun owners.
Their use was extended in 2008, to non-firearms graduates who completed the required training.
Plans to further expand its use of volunteer police officers will be announced by Ms Patel on Tuesday, in her address at the annual conference of the Police Service – a professional body representing the police.
To manage Taser, “specials” will need to complete a 12-month and 200-hour service after they have acquired the “targeted monitoring” status.
According to the Police College, this middle ground allows volunteer officers to be deployed “in a controlled or controlled environment, either individually or as part of a team”.
‘Troubled erosion’
The move to equip volunteers with Tasers follows the passing of a police law, Crime, sentencing and courts last month.
The law allows special police officers to join the Police Service, giving them access to legal aid after emergencies.
According to Home Office statistics, Tasers have been used 34,429 times in 2020/21, up from 32,058 times last year.
In August last year, the police force said there should be clear guidelines for police on when to use them.
In the analysis, the Independent Police Ethics Office (IOPC) black people are more likely to face Taser, and some police officers did not consider the risk of injury to vulnerable people.
Amnesty International has criticized the proposal to increase its use, saying it should be reserved for “highly trained, equally trained officers with police officers with guns”.
Campaign police expert Oliver Feeley-Sprague added: “Armed volunteer officers are a dangerous increase in Taser use and will lead to an increase in Tasers’ shooting.”
“It is our understanding that specials will be severely tested before being selected for Taser training, but equipping volunteers who receive less training and work fewer hours on the job is a worrying erosion of defenses against Taser misuse.”
