Electrically stun, also known as TASE (4 letters), is a method of incapacitating a person by using an electric shock. This technique is often used by law enforcement officers to subdue a suspect or to control a situation. The electric shock causes temporary paralysis and can be used to prevent a person from engaging in dangerous activities. It is considered a non-lethal form of force and is generally used when other methods of control are not available.
