Electric shock gloves already deployed in Nebraska schools, used twice on students
↗
Police departments in Bellevue and Omaha, Nebraska have been using Compliant Technologies' electric shock gloves, with Omaha school resource officers deploying them twice on students since the start of the 2025-2026 school year.
The deployment demonstrates that electric shock gloves have moved beyond announced intent to active use in school settings, with policies permitting their use on passively resistant individuals. The technology occupies a use-of-force category between verbal commands and tasers, lowering the threshold for applying electrical pain compliance.

The gloves have been used twice in Omaha schools on students, once for noncompliance and once on someone trying to enter the school.
Bellevue has used the gloves for approximately three and a half years, deploying them twice this year with reported successful deescalation and no injuries.
