Plain City council authorizes donation of unneeded tasers to criminal justice program
Summary
The Village of Plain City authorized the chief of police to donate unneeded tasers and holsters to a local criminal justice program; council voted in favor and staff said the devices are no longer serviceable for replacement parts and will be used for demonstration and training.
The mayor moved and the council approved a motion to authorize the chief of police to donate unneeded tasers and holsters to a local criminal justice program. The clerk recorded the outcome as six yeas, zero nays.
A staff member explained the devices cannot be used to replace parts and are intended for training and demonstration. As the staff member put it, "We can't add a by parts to replace them anymore. So it's just for tools to, have a demo purposes type of thing." The article uses that description to explain why the council chose donation rather than disposal.
The council debated and voted without recorded dissent. The motion was presented during the staff reports portion of the meeting and followed routine procedural seconding and roll-call affirmation by council members. The council did not tie the donation to any specific training schedule in the transcript.
