“We are very honored and excited to have Governor Martz join the Board of Directors,” said Phil Smith, Chairman of TASER International. “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.

We will miss Bernard Kerik’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,” concluded Smith.

“I am pleased to join the Board of Directors for TASER International,” said former Governor Judy Martz. “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,” concluded Governor Martz.
