KNOX, Ind. -- The Knox Police Department has started a GoFundMe account to raise $6,000 for new non-lethal tasers.
Chief Harold Smith said the current tasers are more than a decade old making them hard or close to impossible to fix when they break.
Chief Smith says there just isn't money in the budget for new tasers.
A local law firm, Sweeney-Julian, will match the funds raised in the crowdfunding effort.
