First-of-its-Kind Partnership Between Canadian Policing
Academic Institution and Industry
CHARLOTTETOWN, Prince Edward
Island, Sept. 6, 2016 /CNW/
-- Axon Public Safety Canada Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of TASER International (NASDAQ: TASR) and the
global leader in digital evidence management solutions with the
leading body-worn camera, today announced a ground breaking
partnership with the Canadian Centre of Public Safety Excellence
(CCPSE). The one-of-a-kind training centre, which combines
skill-based competencies and academically sound
curriculum, delivers the most up-to-date training to law
enforcement and public safety officials. The partnership will
provide the CCSPE with access to a wide range of technology
including Axon body-worn cameras and the Canadian cloud-based
digital evidence management platform, Evidence.com.
"We are excited to be entering into this partnership with
Axon Public Safety Canada," Chief Edgar MacLeod,
Executive Director of the CCPSE, stated. "Axon is the world leader
in digital evidence management and has worked for years to build a
solid Canadian-based team and relationships with groups such as the
Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, who I am proud to have
served as its president. This partnership can provide our students
with cutting edge technology and tools to greatly enhance their
learning experience at the Atlantic Police Academy. While the CCSPE
never endorses private sector products and services, we recognize
that Axon is an outstanding partner for the law enforcement
community in Canada and
internationally."
"We are extremely pleased to enter into this partnership with
such an outstanding Canadian academic institution," said Axon's
Canadian Country Manager, Vishal
Dhir. "By supporting their innovative training and
exercise programs with our Axon body cameras and digital evidence
management solutions, their students will enter the policing world
with an enhanced understanding of the future of law enforcement
technology."
CCSPSE in partnership with Axon will host a regional
training event at their facility this fall. The event will
showcase the "cutting edge" public safety products and
services.
