Axon Standards
Axon Standards is a Professional Standards and Internal Affairs tool that can be used on its own or in conjunction with the Axon Records Management System (RMS).
Axon Standards combines several software systems that aim to protect the lives of citizens, the careers of police officers, and the reputations of police agencies worldwide. These systems include:
- Report writing software lets agencies replace almost any paper-based documentation and contains tailorable templates for common reports, such as Use of Force, Vehicle Pursuits, and Citizen Complaints.
- An Early Intervention System (EIS) to help supervisors track officers’ involvement in critical events, such as pursuits, use-of-force incidents, missed court dates, etc. Supervisors can use this data to ensure officers receive the training, counseling, and discipline required to flourish in their careers and exceed the high standards that agencies and communities alike expect.
- Internal Affairs (IA) software supports investigation of potential officer misconduct. This IA software works in conjunction with Use of Force reporting to provide a comprehensive picture of an officer’s conduct in the field.
