Training Resources
TASER Training Resources lives in Axon Evidence under the TASER tab and provides useful information that you can incorporate into your next TASER training. Instead of following a fixed course, you see drills, talking points, VR exercises, and scenarios organized around common issues that come up in TASER energy weapon programs like ineffective deployments so you can quickly find materials for the areas you want to focus on.
How to access
From the left navigation, go to TASER > Training.
What you'll see
The page is organized by problem theme rather than by course or device. Each theme contains a set of principles that may need to be reinforced with officers as part of your training program. For example, under Ineffective Deployments, you might see:
- Deploy probes until you observe a change in behavior
- Maintain stable deployment during subject movement
- Improve probe spread for better outcomes
Selecting an issue opens a detail view with up to four ways to train on that skill, so you can help your officers practice the same training principle through various different methods without hunting for separate materials:
- Notify: Talking points for roll call, briefings, or one-on-one conversations
- Drill: Live drills from the TASER drill booklets, marked with the devices they apply to (TASER 10, TASER 7, X2, X26P)
- VR: Virtual reality exercises that let officers practice the skill within diverse scenarios repeatedly, without overhead related to travel, time, or financial cost
- Scenario: Scenario-based training that tests the skill under dynamic conditions
You can take one issue and build a complete plan around it — from a 30-second talking point up through a full range-day scenario — in one place.
How Training Resources works with Axon Academy
Training Resources and Axon Academy serve different purposes, and most agencies will use both.
Axon Academy is the e-learning and certification platform. It holds the coursework officers and instructors complete to earn and maintain their TASER Operator, Instructor, and Master Instructor qualifications, along with pre-work for in-person courses. When you need to certify a new user or keep an instructor current, you go to Axon Academy.
Training Resources is organized around common issues that come up in TASER energy weapon programs. It is not a certification path and does not replace Axon Academy coursework. Its job is to help you answer: "What should our next range day or briefing focus on?"
| Axon Academy | Training Resources | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Certification and foundational learning | Ongoing practice against trending issues |
| Content | Courses, eLearning modules, VR, instructor materials | Drill-booklet drills, talking points, VR, scenarios |
| Organized by | Curriculum and role | Problem themes from your agency's data |
| Where | academy.axon.com | TASER > Training |
Together, the two give you a complete training loop: Axon Academy builds the foundation, and Training Resources helps you keep it sharp.
Relationship to the TASER drill booklets
The drills surfaced in Training Resources come directly from the TASER drill booklets. Training Resources doesn't replace the booklets — it makes their contents searchable by problem so you can pull the right drill for the issue you want to work on without paging through the PDF.
