as well as a general email address:

policedept@pwcgov.org

If the story below speaks to you, I would also encourage you to speak out.  Here’s my letter to the department.

Hello Officers of the Prince William County Police Department,

I’ve just recently seen the report on Fox News of the Baptism party at which a pregnant mother was tasered.

From the news story, it seems that the officers used excessive force to attempt to resolve a minor issue of noise disturbance.  I also heard that there is an internal investigation ongoing to determine why such force was used.  I kindly ask you to take all necessary actions in order to at least prevent the use of tasers on pregnant women.  My wife is pregnant with our first child and so I can now personally relate to this story.
