SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 10/07/13 -- TASER (NASDAQ: TASR) today announced multiple new deployments of its AXON flex™ on-officer cameras and EVIDENCE.com service. The Albuquerque Police Department (NM), which deployed 75 AXON flex cameras earlier in 2013, is expanding their body-worn video program with an additional order for 525 AXON flex cameras and a five-year EVIDENCE.com program, making Albuquerque the largest deployment of AXON and EVIDENCE.com.

Significant deployments include:

• Albuquerque Police Department (NM) purchased 525 AXON flex cameras with five years of EVIDENCE.com
• Spokane Police Department (WA) purchased 220 AXON flex cameras with three years of EVIDENCE.com
• Brookfield Police Department (WI) purchased 63 AXON flex cameras with five years of EVIDENCE.com

"The use of on-officer wearable cameras is the best way to ensure that you are providing verifiable quality police services to your community," said recently retired Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz, who oversaw this initiative prior to leaving the department. "After testing and evaluating several different systems we decided on the AXON flex Camera System and EVIDENCE.com service as our video management platform," concluded Chief Schultz.

"We believe that the AXON flex cameras are critical to ensuring that we serve all members of our community in a manner consistent with the highest standards of policing," said Chief Frank Straub, Jr. of the Spokane Police Department. "We also believe the use of this technology will provide opportunities for us to demonstrate the professionalism of our officers, as well as to gain critical information to enhance our training."

"These significant new deployments of AXON and EVIDENCE.com continue a trend of accelerating growth in this space for us," said Rick Smith, CEO and founder of TASER International. "We believe we are approaching a tipping point where the deployment of both body-worn video and cloud computing are fast moving beyond early adopters into the mainstream of policing. Our goal now is to further accelerate market adoption and to build a universal platform for EVIDENCE.com across the public safety space as rapidly as possible. Our strategy is simply to win this market by offering the best products at the best prices. We will host an investor conference call later today to discuss our strategy to accelerate market adoption, including our new tiered, transparent pricing structure."
