GoKawiilSahuarita, Arizona Police Chief Confirms Two-Year Use of Electro-Shock GLOVEs
Sahuarita, Arizona police chief John Noland told the Daily Wire that his 68-officer department has used electric-shock gloves, known as GLOVEs, for roughly two years, calling the devices successful at gaining compliance. His comments follow reporting that ICE has ordered a large supply of the same equipment and that Oklahoma officers used them on students during the 2025-2026 school year.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A UN torture rapporteur has labeled these devices inherently cruel, yet police leaders are openly normalizing their use against civilians, including minors. Rights advocates warn the 'compliance' framing invites abuse, a concern reinforced by a 2025 Kentucky case where a man died after being shocked 27 times with a GLOVE.
- Sahuarita, AZ police have used electro-shock GLOVEs for about two years
- ICE has placed a large purchase order for the same shock-glove technology
- A UN expert calls the devices inhumane; a 2025 Kentucky death raises abuse concerns
