Spc. Water Ross, military police officer with the 216th Military Police Company, waits for the taser prongs to be removed during taser training, June 24, 2025, at Camp Robinson.
“I liked that everybody was there to watch, some people had their kids there and everything,” said Spc. Water Ross, the first of three Soldiers with the 216th MP Co. who volunteered to be tased as part of their training. “I know when I was a little girl, I would see all of these very powerful women, and I wanted to be someone that [the kids] could look up to and be like, ‘dad or mom, I want to do that when I grow up.’ I wanted to be strong, and I wanted to show them that it's not scary. You can do whatever you want.”
In order to be able to carry a taser, Guardsmen in the 216th MP Co. are required to complete a course of fire, and show competency, with the taser to qualify for carrying the nonlethal weapon, but being tased is voluntary.
