"Digital evidence management is a major issue for all police services in Ontario and across Canada," said Chief Paul Martin. "We have been looking for an innovative solution that would improve how we capture evidence such as still photos, video and audio statements.

Axon Capture provides us both the flexibility and ease of use we were looking for at a reasonable price," concluded Chief Paul Martin.
