Cold Spring board approves 10‑year taser purchase and licensing plan

The village approved a multi‑year contract May 6 to purchase updated taser devices and a 10‑year licensing plan to replace older equipment carried by officers. Officer Matthew Jackson answered technical questions about replacement cartridges and training; staff said cartridges and one spare per officer are included and additional replacements would be sent at no cost if used. The board approved the purchase order and authorized the mayor to sign the contract; the fiscal impact is amortized over 10 years with a principal figure cited in the meeting transcript.
