A REPORT into the Queensland Police Service's year-long trial of Tasers will be released on Thursday.

Police Minister Neil Roberts and Commissioner Bob Atkinson will hold a media conference at 10am (AEST) to discuss the report and its findings.

Mr Roberts and Mr Atkinson will also reveal the terms of reference for a review of Taser training and operational policies.

The review follows the death of 39-year-old Antonio Galeano on June 12.

Mr Galeano was shot repeatedly with a 50,000-volt Taser stun gun during a violent confrontation with police at a unit in Brandon, near Townsville.

Civil libertarians have called for a halt to the use of Tasers, but police and the government say they are a valuable tool.
