Police Service to Leverage the Canadian Cloud, Evidence.com,
to Store and Manage Digital Evidence
DURHAM REGION, Canada and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug.
11, 2016 /CNW/ -- Axon Public Safety Canada Inc., a
subsidiary of TASER International (NASDAQ: TASR) and the global
leader in digital evidence management solutions with the leading
body-worn camera, today announced that the Durham Regional Police
Service (DRPS) is the first Ontario police service to pilot Axon
Capture and Evidence.com. The pilot is designed to
improve how the agency captures, stores and manages their digital
evidence in the field.
"Digital evidence management is a major issue for all police
services in Ontario and across
Canada," said Chief Paul Martin. "We have been looking for an
innovative solution that would improve how we capture evidence such
as still photos, video and audio statements. After conducting
research for a solution we are pleased to have selected Axon
Capture from Axon Public Safety Canada for a pilot through the
remainder of 2016. Axon Capture provides us both the flexibility
and ease of use we were looking for at a reasonable price,"
concluded Chief Paul Martin.
"Durham Regional Police Service is well known in the Canadian
law enforcement community for their information management
leadership," said Axon's country manager, Vishal Dhir. "This is an invaluable pilot
opportunity for Axon as this program provides DRPS the opportunity
to help improve officer efficiency in today's mobile world."
DRPS will leverage the Axon Capture mobile application and
Evidence.com in a pilot program between now and the end of
2016. A report will follow upon completion of the pilot for DRPS
executives to review.
