Further to Question No: 2015/3811 'Barnet has the highest rate of Taser deployment in London despite allegedly not being one of the higher crime boroughs. Barnet has a 54.5% deployment rate where Tasers are drawn on deployment of officers whereas Westminster has an 18% rate yet is by far the highest crime borough. What is the reason for this and is this due to decreasing officer numbers in the borough? Your response being Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.' Will you now give a substantive reply?
