ELECTRONIC CONTROL DEVICE CARTRIDGE LOST C10-239464 Sometime overnight on Monday, December 27th to Tuesday, December 28th, 2010 a cartridge (and its pouch) for a Taser™ electronic control device became dislodged and separated from a uniform patrol member's service duty belt while the officer was on duty in Division 11 (Downtown Winnipeg). The electronic control device unit itself was not lost. This cartridge contains probes on wires which extend when the device is discharged. Efforts are ongoing to locate the cartridge. The Winnipeg Police Service would like to advise that the cartridge could pose a risk of harm to the public. If the cartridge was to be picked up by an unsuspecting person and carried in a pocket, a build-up of static energy could activate the cartridge, causing the probes to be propelled.
