<P align="center" style="font-size: 14pt"><B>TASER International Names Former Montana Governor Judy Martz To Board of Directors</B>



<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt">Governor Martz named to replace Bernard Kerik


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">SCOTTSDALE, AZ, March&nbsp;21, 2005 &#151; TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR), a market leader in
advanced non-lethal devices, today announced the appointment of former Montana Governor Judy Martz.
Governor Martz replaces Bernard Kerik who is resigning from the board to focus on his consulting
business effective March&nbsp;31, 2005. Governor Martz appointment is effective April&nbsp;1, 2005.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;We are very honored and excited to have Governor Martz join the Board of Directors,&#148; said Phil
Smith, Chairman of TASER International. &#147;Governor Martz will bring a unique perspective to our
board having been both the CEO of the state of Montana as well as her own small business. As a
former Governor, she brings a deep understanding of what state and local law enforcement officials
need to serve the public. We will miss Bernard Kerik&#146;s thoughtful insight into the law enforcement
community and input on the board and wish him all the best as he pursues his new business venture,&#148;
concluded Smith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;I am pleased to join the Board of Directors for TASER International,&#148; said former Governor Judy
Martz. &#147;I look forward to working closely with everyone at Taser International in helping to
continue to provide the best equipment available to our first line responders in law enforcement
that reduces injuries and saves lives everyday,&#148; concluded Governor Martz.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Judy Martz was elected as Montana&#146;s first female Governor on November&nbsp;7, 2000. Four years earlier,
she was elected as the state&#146;s first female Lieutenant Governor. Governor Martz was born July&nbsp;28,
1943 in Big Timber, Montana, to ranching parents. She graduated from Butte High School in 1961, and
attended Eastern Montana College. She was a member of the 1963 U.S. World Speed Skating Team, and a
member of the U.S. Olympic Speed Skating Team at the 1964 Winter Games.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Governor Martz worked as a field representative for U.S. Senator Conrad Burns from 1989 to 1995.
She has been civically involved for years, serving as President of the Butte Chamber of Commerce in
the early 1990&#146;s, and vice-chair of the St. James Hospital Board of Directors. For more than 30
years, she and her husband, Harry Martz, have owned and operated a commercial solid-waste business
in Butte. As a small business owner, she became actively involved in local and statewide economic
development issues. She and Harry were married in 1965, and have two grown children.
