Press Releases
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies, today announced the purchase of 724 Axon Body 2 cameras by the Austin Police Department. The deal includes a five-year Unlimited Evidence.com license with Axon Signal technology. The order was received in the second quarter of 2017 and the cameras are expected to ship in multiple phases throughout the year.
Austin PD is now the 37th major city in the U.S. to have purchased Axon body-worn cameras and its digital evidence management solution. More than half of the Major Cities Chiefs member cities are currently connected to the Axon Network.
"Our priority is to help Austin PD adopt the most advanced technology system to help define the future of their agency—which means looking beyond body cameras to the mobile applications and cloud software that turn these simple devices into connected solutions," said Axon CEO and Founder Rick Smith. "By choosing the Evidence.com Unlimited Plan, they'll be able to make full use of the Axon Network, without worrying about unpredictable costs for data storage or hardware maintenance. We are looking forward to helping them take on the challenges of 21st-century policing."
