deployed Axon body-worn cameras with real-time situational
awareness and digital evidence management to enhance public safety
and strengthen accountability and transparency
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.,
March 17, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AXON), the global leader in
connected public safety technologies, today announced the
Maldives Police Service (MPS) has
equipped 200 officers throughout the country with Axon Body 3
body-worn cameras and Axon's digital evidence management solution,
Axon Evidence.
Axon Body 3 is the next-generation body-worn camera designed to
improve officer and community safety. MPS has also deployed a
portion of the cameras with Axon's real-time situational awareness
software, Axon Respond. This will give MPS supervisors access to
location-mapping and live streaming, providing visibility into
evolving situations to inform decisions about resourcing and
back-up.
"The introduction of body-worn cameras to the Maldives Police Service is an important
technological development that will bring drastic changes to
policing and contribute to the security and safety of the people,"
says Mohamed Hameed, Commissioner of
Police, Maldives Police Service.
"The use of this technology will help improve evidence collection,
reduce complaints against the police and improve officer
confidence, performance and safety. After careful consideration we
have adopted Axon Body 3 due to the many useful and unique
solutions it offers. I look forward to a wider roll-out of the
product within MPS in the near future."
"We are excited to partner with the Maldives Police Service as they deploy the
latest policing technology," says Nathan
Sawtell, Axon's Managing Director for Asia Pacific. "This deployment demonstrates
their dedication to leveraging the latest technology to increase
officer and community safety across the Maldives. The agency will save time and better
collaborate on the evidence captured within the islands, putting
them at the forefront of public safety technology in the
region."
Axon, which is committed to expanding its presence
internationally and providing market-leading technology to public
safety officers, is thrilled to be partnering with the Maldives Police Service as it deploys the
first body-worn camera technology in the Maldives. Maldives Police Service also utilizes Axon
Citizen, a public evidence submission portal that allows agencies
to collect evidence from the public during both large-scale and
