Police force to leverage the Canadian cloud, Evidence.com, to store and manage digital evidence
FREDERICTON, New Brunswick and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon Public Safety Canada Inc., a subsidiary of TASER International (NASDAQ: TASR) today announced that the Fredericton Police Force (FPF) will pilot Axon Body 2 body cameras and digital evidence management solution, Evidence.com starting this month. The pilot is designed to improve how the agency captures, stores and manages their digital evidence in the field.
"The Fredericton Police Force has always prided itself with leveraging technology to support community safety," says Deputy Chief Martin Gaudet. "This pilot is an exciting next step in that process. We have been discussing the idea of body-worn cameras with community stakeholders for some time. However, until we began discussions with Axon, we were not convinced that our ability to manage the large amount of video was in place. With Evidence.com and their Canadian 'cloud,' we now feel confident that this is the right direction for our agency," concluded Deputy Chief Gaudet.
"We are extremely excited to work with a leading Maritime police agency like Fredericton," says Axon's Managing Director, Canada & Latin America, Vishal Dhir. "This pilot is a great opportunity for Fredericton Police to do their own research and see how the benefits of the Axon platform differ from previous pilots conducted in Canada - especially with respect to battery life, data transfer process and ultimately managing the data in the Canadian cloud environment."
Fredericton Police Force will leverage a number of Axon products and services including Axon Body 2 cameras, Axon Capture and Evidence.com with the pilot lasting for 90 days.
