AXON), the global leader in connected public safety technologies,

ALPR service along with real-time situational awareness through

Starting in March 2021, eight
domestic and international agencies deployed Axon Fleet 3 as a part
of an intensive Beta trial, including Johns Creek (Ga.) PD, Joliet
(Ill.) PD, Grand Prairie
(Texas) PD, Fort Worth (Texas) PD and Nevada Highway Patrol to name a few.
"We are excited to be one of the first agencies to trial the
Axon Fleet 3 in-car camera system with ALPR and we are very
impressed with the overall value of this advanced integration,"
says Lieutenant Jon Moses of Johns
Creek Police Department. "Our agency prides itself on being at the
forefront of public safety technology, and with the Fleet 3 ALPR
technology, our officers will be able to better serve our
community."
"This breakthrough technology is a game changer for in-car
cameras," says Blake Bullock,
Director of Axon Fleet. "We've substantially elevated the simple
in-car dash camera to one that can automatically and simultaneously
scan plates across multiple lanes of traffic at closing speeds up
to 140 mph. We've designed the system to be disruptively
affordable to allow for ALPR deployment across an agency's
entire fleet of police vehicles instead of just in a small number
of designated vehicles."
Axon is simultaneously addressing industry shortcomings to
improve data security, transparency and privacy by applying a high
level of ethical consideration to all products. Developed to
balance effectiveness with privacy and accountability, Axon Fleet
3 leverages Axon-developed AI to power the ALPR technology
while incorporating safeguards as outlined by Axon's AI Ethics
Board report on Automated License Plate Readers.
Axon's Respond for Devices technology is built right into Fleet
3, bringing real-time situational awareness including live video
streaming, alerts, and location updates enabled by LTE of 5G
connectivity — providing real-time visibility and location mapping
of vehicles in the field.
"We are proud of the connected capabilities of the Fleet 3
in-car video solution," says Axon CEO and founder, Rick Smith. "With seamless connection and
integration into our real-time situational awareness platform,
Respond for Devices, agencies will have better visibility into
what's happening in the field."
Axon is partnering with industry-leading companies as a part of
this launch, including Flock Safety who provides advanced
security for communities and the law enforcement agencies that
serve them. Axon's partnership allows police departments to deploy
a network of both fixed and mobile ALPR systems at a disruptively
affordable price by offering Flock Safety's industry-leading and
ethically-designed fixed ALPR solution alongside Axon's Fleet 3
in-car video and mobile ALPR solution. The Fleet 3 and Flock Safety
system are seamlessly integrated in Axon Evidence for customers who
use both.
Additionally, Axon has partnered with Cradlepoint, the leader in
wireless mobile network solutions, to provide superior in-vehicle
and on-scene Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity. Axon has also
partnered with Airgain to provide antennas for wireless
connectivity to Axon Evidence and with other Axon devices on scene,
such as body-worn cameras.
