MONTREAL, July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies,
announced today that it would extend its free cloud-based evidence
management and body camera trial program to include all Canadian
police agencies. The program, which was originally launched in
the United States in April of this
year, provides Evidence.com usage, body-worn cameras, training, and
supporting hardware free of charge for up to one year to any
interested agency. To learn more about the offer, visit Axon at
booths #213, #215, #312, and #314 at the Canadian Association of
Chiefs of Police Conference in Montréal from July
16-19.
Along with its next generation body-worn cameras, Axon's
Evidence.com solution has helped to shepherd in a new era of
evidence management in public safety. By offering an interoperable
platform, Evidence.com helps law enforcement and justice agencies
greatly increase their efficiency by reducing the need for unwieldy
processes associated with sharing information on CDs, DVDs, and
other methods of in-house data storage. Evidence.com's
workflow improvements like automatic redaction, on-demand
transcription, and easy case and evidence sharing create a digital
evidence ecosystem that lets agencies save significant
administrative time and considerable storage costs.
Several Canadian agencies have already begun to use Axon's
innovative technologies, while many others are starting pilots.
Durham Regional Police Service will pilot Axon Body 2 cameras
with approximately 80 officers for a one-year period. The pilot is
designed to provide value to the Durham Region Police Members and
the community with respect to improving the quality of evidence
collected, enhancing public trust and ultimately service
effectiveness.
"Axon has a secure, easy-to-use solution that helps reduce
manual tasks, prevent data silos, and promote efficiency," said
Axon CEO and co-founder Rick
Smith. "When we say 'get to the truth faster,' this is
exactly what we mean — that, given the chance to utilize this
platform, agencies will see an immediate transformation in the way
they manage digital evidence. It's time to make sure that everyone
has that chance."
By streamlining virtually all aspects of the criminal justice
process, from evidence capture to sharing with Crown prosecutors
for trial, Axon's solution helps increase convictions while
decreasing time to trial, thereby saving agencies money and time.
For that reason, the company is determined to ensure that all
agencies across Canada are given
the opportunity to field trial the Axon platform.
"We see this as a great opportunity for Services to gather more
data on the effectiveness of these tools in the context of Canadian
policing," said Vishal Dhir, Axon's
Managing Director for Canada and
Latin America. "Axon is seeing
great results after body-worn camera deployments in the US,
UK, Australia, and now across
Canada. We're seeing targeted
programs having positive impacts on addressing Domestic Partner
Violence and streamlining sharing with Crown, which leads to faster
prosecutions and greater efficiency for all involved."
In order to meet these challenges that face modern Canadian
police agencies, Axon will ensure that all departments across
Canada have access to this
technology. The offer includes:
- One Axon Body 2 camera per sworn
officer
- Digital evidence data storage with an Evidence.com "Unlimited
Pro" license
- Two mounts per officer
- Docking station to securely upload body camera footage
- Axon Capture mobile application
- Access to the full Axon Academy online training library
For additional information on how to sign up for the offer
please visit: www.ca.axon.com/trial. (This free, one-year trial
offer is not available for any law enforcement agency or its
officers in which Axon is participating in a request for proposal,
a process which may restrict communication with that agency or its
officers.)
