Data-Driven Decisions on Public Health Emergencies

It’s a parade on a busy street. Armed terrorists suddenly appear and flood a luxury hotel filled with civilians. Law enforcement officers arrive quickly and storm in after them, hoping to end the attack quickly and without any civilian casualties.

Thank goodness this isn’t real, think Axon representatives Jason Laumeyer and Rich Allen, who are observing a simulated exercise at Verizon’s and Nokia's Operation Convergent Response 2019 (#OCR2019). OCR is a unique event that brings together first responders to witness real-world demos of the latest technologies in public safety. The most recent event took place at the Guardian Centers in Perry, Georgia. As shots rang out and helicopters flew overhead, the Guardian Centers was “under attack” by terrorists. And our latest body camera, Axon Body 3, was there to capture the action.

“It was like being on a movie set,” said Axon’s Laumeyer, “only all of the first responder ‘actors’ have to be prepared for this type of situation to happen in real life. It gave us a new appreciation for what public safety deals with and why it’s so important for Axon and Verizon to team up to help.”

Indeed, the partnership between Axon and Verizon is, in part, what makes Axon Body 3 our most impactful device yet. It’s the first body-worn camera for law enforcement on Verizon’s network dedicated to first responders, which offers preemption and priority service. That means the connected features of Body 3, like live maps and live streaming, can remain up and running in critical situations by being prioritized over commercial wireless traffic. In turn, officers and agencies can respond with greater safety and effectiveness.

Building more effective responses is exactly why OCR came to be. As critical incidents become increasingly more complex, technology can be deployed in new ways to help. Alongside other technologies, our cameras were in full effect during the fake-but-chillingly-realistic terror attack, recording clear evidence and audio, and giving remote observers the ability to see officer locations and live streams as the incident unfolded. After the fact, several participants asked if they could use the footage for training purposes to help reinforce the lessons they learned while at OCR. It was an exercise in collaboration across the board.

We hope none of the scenarios from OCR ever manifest in the real world. But if they do, we are glad to partner with companies like Verizon to equip the men and women of public safety with the latest technologies.

USFS now deploying body cameras and TASER weapons on the first ever FedRamp-authorized digital evidence management system, Axon Evidence

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies, today announced that the United States Forest Service (USFS) will outfit officers and agents across its law enforcement and investigative agency with Axon Body 2 cameras backed by the digital evidence management system, Axon Evidence (Evidence.com). The USFS has been a TASER Conducted Energy Weapon customer since 2008 and began an agency-wide deployment of TASER X26Ps in 2018. USFS Law Enforcement and Investigations is the first federal law enforcement agency to adopt Axon's full less-lethal ecosystem. This order was received in the third quarter of 2019 and will deploy in multiple phases.

In addition to the Axon Body 2 cameras, the USFS also ordered Axon Signal Performance Power Magazine (SPPM), a CEW battery that alerts cameras on the Axon network to begin recording when the safety is in the "armed" position. The SPPM will be incorporated into all TASER X26P CEWs deployed across the agency.

"We are thrilled to partner with the Forest Service, the first federal agency to deploy Axon's ecosystem of life saving technologies across their law enforcement enterprise," says Richard Coleman, Axon's VP and GM, Federal. "The Forest Service's mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the 193 million acres of our nation's forests and grasslands is uniquely critical and important and it's a mission we at Axon are proud to support."

USFS adoption of the Axon network represents an important milestone in Axon's entry into the federal civilian law enforcement market, which has more than 120,000 officers who are authorized to make arrests and carry firearms, according to the US Justice Dept.
