What is the preferred distance for deploying a Taser during an engagement?

The preferred distance for deploying a Taser during an engagement is within 15-30 feet. This range is ideal because it allows the Taser's probes to effectively connect and create a sufficient electrical circuit necessary for incapacitating an individual. At this distance, the user can also maintain better accuracy and ensure that the probes hit the target. Additionally, the proximity allows for quicker engagement and helps in managing the target safely while minimizing any risk associated with longer-range deployment, where factors like wind or environmental obstacles may affect the effectiveness of the Taser. In training scenarios, this distance is often emphasized to ensure that instructors and students understand the parameters for effective use of the device in real-world situations.
