TASER® International Announces that 1,000 Law Enforcement Agencies Now Deploy

SCOTTSDALE, AZ., November 20, 2001 - TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), a provider of advanced

had signed its 1,000th law enforcement agency this past week.
Below are some significant agencies that have purchased and are currently either field testing or deploying the

"We are extremely gratified to reach this important milestone in our company history since our very first
ADVANCED TASER was delivered in December 1999,” said Rick Smith, Chief Executive Officer. “This
translates into adding approximately 40 new law enforcement agencies every month. Law enforcement agencies are
some of the most skeptical buyers in the world and will only take proven equipment. This is a great achievement
and a powerful validation for our company over the past 23 months of sales of the M26. What’s even more exciting
is that we have barely scratched the surface when you look at the overall market potential of the 18,000 plus law
enforcement agencies in the United States. Fortunately, we are either in field test or are deploying the M26 with
most of the opinion leaders in law enforcement.
“These 1,000 agencies include approximately 20 that have deployed the M26 on every police officer, such as
Sacramento, Albuquerque and Reno police departments, where every patrol officer carries both a firearm as well as
the M26. About 200 of these 1,000 agencies are evaluating the M26, a number that has remained fairly constant
over the past 6 months as law enforcement agencies convert from their test and evaluation to deployment and new
agencies start their evaluation and field test,” continued Mr. Smith. “We are particularly pleased that over 1,000
field reports of actual uses on file of the M26 proves the weapon is achieving a 93% effectiveness ratio, a number
that has never before been achieved by any weapon on which effectiveness data has been collected,” said Mr. Smith.
“The successful penetration of the law enforcement agencies in combination with the recent commitment by United
Airlines to arm their aircraft crews with the ADVANCED TASER M26, places TASER International in an excellent
position to address the consumer markets for self defense. We intend to formally announce and introduce the
ADVANCED TASER M18/M18L for consumer use at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in
early January 2002,” continued Mr. Smith.
