SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TASER International (NASDAQ: TASR) today announced the receipt of an order for a total of 900 TASER® X2™ Smart Weapons for the Kentucky State Police.

"We believe the Kentucky State Patrol is making an important move toward a world where every officer has the best technology and training to minimize the chances of a deadly encounter," says Rick Smith, CEO and co-founder of TASER International. "Using our TASER 60 plan provides a new, cleaner alternative for allowing Smart Weapons to be a budgetary line item providing better financial visibility.
