Dee Doocey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly policing spokesperson and member of the MPA, commenting on today's comments by the Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan Howe that every police car in London could be fitted with a taser said:
"To move from a relatively small number of highly-trained police officers being armed with a taser, to a situation where 6,500 police cars in London routinely carry them on everyday patrols would do irreparable damage to the reputation of our unarmed police service, which is the envy of the world."
