To date, over 50 agencies in Canada are now using TASER 7, keeping both
officers and communities safe
CALGARY, ON and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 18,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AXON), the global
leader in connected public safety technologies, and its subsidiary,
Axon Public Safety Canada, Inc., today announced that several major
agencies across Canada will deploy
TASER 7 devices to officers across the country as a part of an
ongoing effort to better serve their communities. According to
reports from police services in Ontario including Toronto, simply presenting a TASER device
de-escalates a situation between 70% to 90% of the time, without
having to deploy a cartridge, which leads to safer interactions for
all involved.
Significant TASER 7 orders were received from the following
Canadian agencies in Q2 and represent only those agencies granting
permission to be named:
- Calgary Police Service-
1,000 TASER 7 devices on the TASER 7 Certification Plan
- York Regional Police - 290 TASER 7 devices on the TASER
7 Certification Plan
Agencies throughout Canada are
turning to the TASER 7 as an effective way to de-escalate
situations, including Peel Regional Police, Toronto Police Service and Edmonton Police Service who all have joined
the Axon Network and deployed TASER 7 within their communities.
"We are humbled to see agencies across Canada expanding their TASER programs," says
Vishal Dhir, Senior Vice President,
Americas. "Axon's latest and most advanced energy device, the TASER
7, is a critical de-escalation tool to help keep both officers and
communities safer. By adopting these devices, these agencies can
continue to make positive impacts in the communities they serve
with safer outcomes."
The TASER 7 is the most effective TASER device yet, with
services that are seamlessly integrated into Axon Evidence. By
leveraging Axon's TASER 7 Certification plan, these agencies will
receive TASER 7 devices, holsters, rechargeable batteries,
instructor training, end-user training and access to ongoing online
training content.
