Taser to supply Axon Flex cameras with Evidence.com to US police departments

Taser International has received a series of contracts to supply its Axon body-worn video cameras along with Evidence.com, a back-end digital evidence management system to various police departments across the US.

Wichita Police Department has placed an order for 429 Axon Flex cameras with five years of Evidence.com and Taser Assurance Plan (TAP), while Brownsville Police Department will get 140 Axon cameras with five years of Evidence.com and TAP.

Parker Police Department and the White Plains Police Department have awarded contracts for the delivery of 59 and 50 cameras, respectively, along with five years of Evidence.com and TAP.

Taser will supply 38, 32 and 30 Axon cameras, along with five years of Evidence.com and TAP, to the Elkton Police Department, Lincolnton Police Department, as well as the Takoma Park Police Department.

Under a separate contract, the Barberton Police Department will receive 32 cameras with five years of Evidence.com and TAP.

Powered by a pocket-sized battery pack, Axon cameras are small, yet highly visible, and can be attached securely to sunglasses, a cap, a shirt collar, or a head mount.

While recording, the cameras capture a wide-angle, full-colour view of what an officer is facing and the video automatically uploads through a docking station to Evidence.com, where it can be easily accessed for review.

Evidence.com helps law enforcement capture, manage, and share their digital evidence without installation of in-house servers, and is claimed to be the most secure, scalable, and cost-effective solution for managing all types of digital evidence.

Deliveries under the contracts are scheduled to take place during the third and fourth quarter of this year.
