Taser Gloves Taser gloves are another smart step forward in less-lethal technology for law enforcement. These specialized gloves let officers deliver a controlled electrical charge on contact, giving them a safer way to gain compliance and complete an arrest when a suspect is actively resisting. It reduces the need for higher levels of force while still protecting the officer and those around them. Better tools mean better outcomes. Our officers deserve every advantage that helps them do a dangerous job professionally and come home safe at the end of their shift. Support the men and women behind the badge, and the innovations that keep them safer. Compliant Technologies (a veteran-owned company based in the Lexington, Kentucky area) developed the product after its founder encountered an earlier rudimentary low-voltage concept around 2014. The company itself was founded in October 2018, and the gloves entered the market that December. Early real-world use followed quickly, including donations and training with local agencies by early 2019, with broader adoption growing in the years after. Note that these are not an official Axon/TASER-branded product. “Taser gloves” is the informal media and public nickname for these conductive distraction/de-escalation gloves. They deliver a lower-voltage shock on direct skin contact (typically maxing around 380 volts) as a hands-on compliance tool, distinct from traditional probe-firing TASER devices.
