Report on April 11, 2024 Taser Shipment to the New Hampshire Department of Corrections

Concord, N.H. - Attorney General John M. Formella announces that the New Hamshire Department of Justice is releasing a final report concerning the Public Integrity Unit's investigation into the April 11, 2024 shipment of 192 Taser 10 conducted energy weapon systems to the New Hampshire Department of Corrections (NHDOC).

The investigation was initiated following an inquiry by Executive Councilor John Stephen regarding the delivery of the devices prior to approval by the Governor and Executive Council.

After a thorough criminal investigation, the Attorney General's Office determined that there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed by NHDOC personnel or representatives of Axon in connection with the shipment or procurement processes. All 192 devices were returned to the vendor, and the State incurred no cost.
