Introducing redesigned Axon Evidence: built for the way you work

We’re excited to announce that a redesigned Axon Evidence is coming this December!

For over 15 years, Axon Evidence has helped public safety agencies securely manage their digital evidence. But technology has come a long way since 2009. Since then, digital evidence has grown exponentially and is now central to the vast majority of investigations. According to the 2024 Trends Report, 86% of cases include digital evidence, with video being the most common and helpful form of digital evidence, and 70% of agencies say digital evidence has helped them close more cases than ever before. Despite these benefits, the growth in digital evidence has also presented challenges for modern policing.

To meet the growing demands of modern digital evidence management, our team is redesigning Axon Evidence to make it faster, smarter, and easier. At the same time, we’ve been intentional about preserving what you already know and love about Axon Evidence: its reliability, security and core functionality will remain a vital part of the system.

This year, the redesign to Axon Evidence is focusing on improving key workflows, including navigation, search, evidence details, the media player, and the administrative experience. Simply put, this redesign is making Axon Evidence more intuitive and responsive—so your agency can work more efficiently.

Please note: The features, improvements, and imagery shared below reflect Axon’s direction for Axon Evidence as of April 2025 and may be subject to change.

Streamlined navigation

Your most used tools should always be easy to access. The new Axon Evidence layout will bring key actions front and center, so you can land exactly where you need to be an move across Axon solutions with fewer clicks.

  • Land directly on the evidence search page upon login.

  • Use a collapsible sidebar to access Axon solutions.

  • Toggle between light and dark modes.

  • Use product icons to quickly identify digital evidence.

Unified evidence search

According to the 2024 DEMS Trends report, searching for evidence is the second most time-consuming process when it comes to digital evidence management. As such, we are building a number of new functionalities to streamline the process of finding relevant evidence and building cases.

  • Use a single search bar to locate evidence.

  • Save and revisit frequent search queries.

  • Infinite scroll and adjustable and sortable columns.

  • Access filters and evidence results alongside map view.

Robust evidence details

It is important to have the full picture surrounding a piece of evidence or a case, which is why we've brought the key information together in one place. From high priority metadata to notes and redactions, the redesigned evidence details page will help you work faster without switching between pages or losing context.

  • Simultaneously watch evidence and access metadata.

  • Quickly edit high-priority metadata.

  • Locate notes, metadata, transcripts, redactions and more from one contextual panel.

Intuitive media player

Reviewing footage can often be a time consuming task and clear evidence playback is vital to police work. The updates coming to the media player will give you faster playback, smarter controls, and a more responsive interface so you can analyze critical moments more efficiently.

  • Enjoy smoother, more reliable video playback.

  • Speed up evidence review with keyboard-based controls.

  • Adjust playback speed from 0.25x to 4x.

  • Choose between default, wide or fullscreen views.

Centralized admin capabilities

We know that administrative capabilities are the gatekeepers to the tools and devices that drive agency efficiency and protect life. That’s why we’re introducing a cleaner, more user-friendly admin experience, starting with Axon Evidence. The new admin console brings familiar controls into a modern, centralized interface, making it easier to manage core settings today while laying the groundwork for a more unified administrative experience across Axon solutions in the future.

  • Easily access Axon Evidence settings and permissions.

  • Enjoy consistent layouts and controls across admin tools.

The improvements coming this year mark just the beginning of the Axon Evidence redesign evolution. These enhancements lay the foundation for us to build more streamlined workflows and tailored solutions in the years ahead.
