SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 7, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- TASER International,
Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR) today commended Jeffrey D. Ho, M.D. and his
research team in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Minnesota's
Hennepin County Medical Center for their efforts in an ongoing study
to track and analyze data relating to the use of TASER(r) electronic
control devices in law enforcement contacts with mentally ill persons.
Ho's findings were presented last Friday, June 30th, at the National
Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) annual conference in Washington,
D.C.

The study utilized TASER International's voluntarily reported law
enforcement TASER system use database maintained since 1999. There
where a total of 10,608 reports of TASER electronic control device use
in the database over a 72-month period. Of the reported 2,452 reports
of TASER system use in mentally ill persons, 1,111 (45.3 percent) were
in situations where lethal force would have been justified according
to the reporting officer or where the subject posed an imminent lethal
danger to himself.
