On Wednesday afternoon our newest Sheriff’s deputy, Lucas Gnat underwent his last training requirements. Lucas underwent Taser training from Instructor, Sergeant Michael Petersen and as the final objective he submitted to being tased and he described that experience as it occurred with numerous expletives as he was tased and completed the in-house training requirement. The Sheriff and all the current deputies carry a newer version “Taser 7” and each has undergone mandated training that required each being tased. “We believe it is important for law enforcement officers to understand the effects of the taser and will be able to better articulate the use of a taser if ever deployed on any subject as they know not only how it works, but how it feels on the human body.” Sheriff Mike Unger
