    Julia Mulligan spoke as she launched a consultation on the plans across the county.

    "We do need to understand whether that would affect the relationship the public have with their police," she said.

    "It's classed as a non-lethal weapon, so when you get fired on it has a profound impact on you and incapacitates you and I think by all accounts it's extremely painful.

    "So it is not something to be taken lightly or rushed into.

    "It is the chief constable's decision, [arming with Tasers] it's not mine, but it's my job to find out what the public think about these sort of things."
