A government contract has been awarded to produce a large quantity of gloves that deliver an electric shock. These gloves are intended for use in specific situations, such as when someone resists arrest or poses a threat to officers. The plan to use these devices is facing opposition from lawmakers.

The contract is valued at millions of dollars and was awarded to a company that has not previously received a government contract. Further information about the contract and the intended use of the gloves is available.

The company that won the contract is based in Kentucky and will produce a significant number of the gloves.
