SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon, a
business unit of TASER International (NASDAQ: TASR) and the global
leader in digital evidence management solutions with the leading
body-worn camera, today announced the purchase of 963 Axon
Body 2 cameras by California's
San Jose Police Department. San
Jose PD secured a five-year subscription to
Evidence.com on the Unlimited license tier. This order
was received in the second quarter and will be shipped in phases
through the end of 2016.
"This is such an exciting moment for us, and we're really
looking forward to working with these devices," said San Jose Chief
of Police Edgardo Garcia. "We've seen the results that body cameras
have yielded in other cities and we can't wait to see how this next
generation of cameras builds upon those results."
"We are thrilled and humbled to have been selected by the
San Jose Police Department after
an extensive field test of eight body worn camera brands," said
TASER CEO and co-founder Rick Smith. "The Axon Body 2 improves upon
its predecessor in a host of ways and we are thrilled to see it
make its way into the hands of San
Jose's officers, where we have no doubt that they will pave
the way for more efficient police work. Our team has worked really
hard to develop this technology for the heroic men and
women of law enforcement, so it's exciting to know we will be
supporting them in the heart of Silicon Valley."
