community. These studies include a year-long Cambridge University
study conducted at the Rialto,
CA Police Department that showed an 88% reduction in citizen
complaints and a 60% reduction in uses of force after
implementation of TASER's Axon flex cameras. The San Diego Police
Department also released a report showing the use of Axon
body-worn cameras resulted in a 41% drop in complaints, 60% drop in
total allegations and a 47% decline in "personal body" force by
officers. The use of pepper spray was also reduced by 31%. In a
study by Arizona State University, the Mesa Police Department's use
of Axon cameras revealed a 48% reduction in citizen complaints
against camera officers for misconduct during the study period, and
a 75% decline in use of force complaints.
