Council encumbers $4,347 for Taser cartridges for annual training
Summary
Council approved encumbering $4,347 to Axon for Taser 7 cartridges to support yearly officer training requirements; staff said cartridges are used in training to meet certification standards.
The Pryor Creek City Council approved an encumbrance of $4,347 to Axon to purchase Taser 7 cartridges for the police department. City staff said the cartridges are used in the department’s annual training, and each officer is required to fire two cartridges during training to meet Taser standards.
Councilors asked whether the cartridges have expiration dates; staff said cartridges can have expiration dates and that existing inventory is used before ordering replacements. Staff clarified the action was an encumbrance based on a quote, not an immediate expenditure; the order will be placed later when procurement steps are complete.
The motion to approve the encumbrance passed on a council roll‑call vote.
