DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Law enforcement policies on the use of stun guns vary greatly across Iowa’s 99 counties, and civil rights experts who recently reviewed the policies say many of them are inadequate. The Des Moines Register obtained a new report that identifies several deficiencies in the stun gun policies.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and the University of Iowa College of Law Clinic ?conducted the study after questions were raised about stun gun use in lawsuits and previous stories. Last year, two people died after being stunned by officers during confrontations.

State lawmakers considered requiring stun gun training and policies on their use but failed to pass a law.
