SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AAXN), the global leader in connected public safety technologies,
today announced that more than 1,800 public safety professionals
attended the Axon Accelerate conference to hear from more than 70
speakers and experience all the products offered through the Axon
network. Throughout the conference, Axon unveiled several new
products and features - many of which are available on the Officer
Safety Plan (OSP) 7+. The plan allows users to leverage the power
of the Axon network by bundling next-generation devices like the
TASER 7 and Axon Body 3 with the innovative records management
system, Axon Records. For full details of the announcements made
during Axon Accelerate 2019, see below.
Redaction Assistant
Axon announced the launch of Redaction Assistant, the first
advanced artificial intelligence (AI) powered tool to be offered to
law enforcement agencies and prosecutors through the Axon network.
Redaction Assistant is a productivity tool built to increase
efficiency for agencies who currently spend up to eight hours
manually redacting each hour of body camera video footage.
Currently, when redacting video footage, users are manually drawing
boxes around objects frame-by-frame. With Redaction Assistant, the
AI detects a license plate, face or screen and automatically draws
a box around it so the user can then confirm whether it is an
object that needs to be redacted. The technology is similar to what
is found in almost all cell phone cameras where objects of
interest, such as faces, are detected to improve the lighting
conditions of the captured image. Redaction Assistant is available
now to agencies in the US, UK and Canada as a software add-on and is included
automatically for US agencies on Axon's Officer Safety Plan (OSP)
7+. To learn more about Redaction Assistant, visit:

Axon Performance
Axon also announced the launch of Axon Performance, a data
analytics platform that helps to streamline the policy review
process for law enforcement agencies. Axon Performance allows
supervisors to more efficiently review video footage, perform
agency-wide officer performance evaluations, identify training
needs and save officers time so they can spend more time in their
communities. Today, supervising officers undergo the arduous task
of manually sorting through and reviewing the camera footage
captured by officer's body cameras. Axon Performance helps reduce
this time-consuming task by tracking and reporting metrics such as
whether an officer's body-worn camera has been activated or if the
videos have been correctly categorized. It is available to purchase
today as a software add-on for existing customers and is included
for agencies purchasing the Officer Safety Plan (OSP) 7+. To learn
more about Axon Performance, visit:

Axon Air
Updates to the Axon Air program were also showcased at Axon
Accelerate. Axon Air, the unmanned aircraft program for public
safety, can now ingest data captured on drone devices directly into
the digital evidence management system, Axon Evidence
(Evidence.com). The software offloads the captured footage and
associated metadata from the drone into Axon Evidence via the Axon
Air app. The video is treated with the same rigorous data
management system and security protocols that law enforcement
agencies rely on to preserve and protect data from body cameras and
in-car video systems. Axon Air is available as an add-on license to
customers on the Pro or Basic user licenses. To learn more about
Axon Air visit: https://www.axon.com/air.
Axon Body 3
Axon announced that the first shipments of the next generation
body-worn camera, Axon Body 3, will ship to customers in the third
quarter of 2019. Featuring an LTE connection and new Axon Aware
real-time technology, the camera introduces real-time features like
live maps and streaming. Coupled with enhanced low-light
performance, clearer audio and reduced motion blur, Axon Body 3
will help agencies capture clearer evidence and improve officer
safety with real-time situational awareness. Deployment follows
heavy testing - alpha and beta testing will continue over the next
two months and inform expanding capabilities over time. To learn
more about Axon Body 3 visit: https://www.axon.com/body-3.
Axon Aid
A new charitable initiative was also unveiled at Axon Accelerate
named Axon Aid, a program which utilizes drone technology to assist
in response and recovery efforts during natural disasters. When a
disaster strikes, Axon can deploy its team of trained pilots geared
with drones and fully outfitted Axon Fleet 2 vehicles to the agency
command center. The teams, which are completely self-sufficient,
will act as an asset to the agency during their response and
recovery efforts. This effort will be executed at no cost to the
partner agency. Axon Aid will deploy on June
1, 2019. To learn more or become involved, reach out to
aid@axon.com.
