• Arizona Police Chief Hails Shock Gloves as Safer Option. ICE Is Ready to Buy Thousands (webpronews.com) — Sahuarita’s police department has spent two years using electric shock gloves, with Chief John Noland calling them a safer, more humane alternative to Tasers and batons. Now ICE plans a major national rollout, even as human-rights experts and some officials warn the technology could be misused and make accountability harder because it leaves no visible marks.
