SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies,
today announced the purchase of 724 Axon Body 2 cameras by the
Austin Police Department. The deal includes a five-year Unlimited
Evidence.com license with Axon Signal technology. The order was
received in the second quarter of 2017 and the cameras are expected
to ship in multiple phases throughout the year.
Austin PD is now the 37th major city in the U.S. to have
purchased Axon body-worn cameras and its digital evidence
management solution. More than half of the Major Cities Chiefs
member cities are currently connected to the Axon Network.
"Our priority is to help Austin PD adopt the most advanced
technology system to help define the future of their agency—which
means looking beyond body cameras to the mobile applications and
cloud software that turn these simple devices into connected
solutions," said Axon CEO and Founder Rick
Smith. "By choosing the Evidence.com Unlimited Plan, they'll
be able to make full use of the Axon Network, without worrying
about unpredictable costs for data storage or hardware maintenance.
We are looking forward to helping them take on the challenges of
21st-century policing."
