Report highlights need for better Taser and stop-search recording

The Chief constable of Devon and Cornwall Police says staff are getting more training on how to record incidents where they have used Tasers or stop and search.

A report out today rates the force as good when it comes to treating people fairly and ethically, but says they need to get better at record keeping in some cases.

Shaun Sawyer says good recording of Taser use and -and-search is important for transparency, and officers are being trained to do it thoroughly.
