Apparently the Atlanta police Dept. does have them, and that has been factored into the charges against Rolfe.

... before shooting Brooks, Rolfe fired his stun gun twice at the fleeing man in another violation of department rules.
"The Atlanta policy says you cannot fire a Taser at someone who is running away. So you certainly can't fire a handgun at someone who is running away," Howard said.
Howard said that at the time Rolfe aimed and fired at Brooks' back from 18 feet, 3 inches away, "Rolfe was aware that the Taser in Brooks' possession was fired twice and presented no danger to him."
