PRIMECorp partnership with Axon is the largest Axon Evidence
software only deal
VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 15, 2021 /CNW/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AXON),
the global leader in connected public safety technologies, and its
subsidiary, Axon Public Safety Canada, Inc., today announced
PRIMECorp, will be deploying Axon's digital evidence management
solution, Axon Evidence, to all supported police services in
British Columbia. This
groundbreaking modernization initiative will connect British Columbia justice sector partners and
stakeholders, including the police and crown attorneys.
Axon Evidence is a Canadian cloud-based digital evidence
platform that allows agencies and investigators to store, manage,
transfer and share digital evidence across all public safety
agencies.
"Our goal was to evaluate the market for a partner that can help
bring the benefits of modernizing our digital evidence management
from collection, storing and sharing with our justice partners, so
we can be more effective while maintaining the highest level of
security to safeguard policing data. After an extensive evaluation
that spanned two-years, involving a formal procurement process that
included an operational pilot with multiple agencies, PRIMECorp is
confident in Axon Evidence as a common platform amongst the BC
Police Agencies now and into the future," says Wayne Plamondon, PRIMECorp, Chief Operating
Officer.
As custodian of public safety information and data contained
within British Columbia's Police
Records Information Management Environment (PRIME), PRIME-BC is the
only multi-jurisdictional police records management and
computer-aided dispatch system covering an entire province in
Canada. With this deployment, Axon
Evidence will be utilized by the police services across
British Columbia.
"This investment will help drive forward ongoing efforts to
modernize British Columbia's
criminal justice system by transforming the way digital evidence is
managed by police and shared to their justice partners," says
Vishal Dhir, Managing Director for
Axon Canada and Latin America.
"We're excited to be partnering with PRIMECorp on such a critical
project for police services in the province. Axon Evidence is a
proven solution that can help first responders and public safety
officials streamline evidence management and support timely
submission to the courts. This reduces costs and helps allocate
resources to better serve their community."
