Chief Constable Todd is hit by a taser bulletMANCHESTER's Chief Constable Mike Todd put himself in the firing line by allowing himself to be shot by a Taser stun gun - and then called for them to be made more widely available to frontline officers.

But his call comes as Home Office minister and local MP Hazel Blears insists the weapons should not be given to all officers.

Mr Todd volunteered to be shot by a 50,000-volt Taser after praising them in a speech to officers earlier this year.

I wouldn't want to see these used too much, but it's a better option than a gun. Any kind of non-lethal tools to help the police is fine by me.
