VA to manage program with Axon's digital evidence management
solution, Axon Evidence, which is FedRAMP-authorized to securely
store government data and digital evidence
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 13,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AXON), the global
public safety technology leader, today announced that the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Police intends to deploy Axon
Fleet 3 in-car cameras with Axon's AI-powered automated license
plate reader (ALPR) technology and Axon Body 3 cameras to VA police
officers across all Veterans Integrated Services Networks
(VISNs).
Additionally, VA will leverage Axon's real-time situational
awareness software, Axon Respond, and Axon's digital evidence
management system, Axon Evidence, which is a Federal Risk and
Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorized platform. The
recently signed $60 million IDIQ
contract has the potential to expand over time and showcases both
VA's commitment to Veterans and officers, as well as Axon's ability
to respond to the requirements of the federal market.
"Our mission is to deliver professional law enforcement and
security services, and the protection of persons and property on VA
campuses; as well as the building's under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Veterans Affairs. That includes ensuring the safety
of our Veterans, their care givers and VA employees at all medical
centers and clinics," says Troy
Brown, Director, VA Law Enforcement Services. "By providing
our police officers, detectives and special agents with real time
visibility and situational awareness, we ensure a safe environment
for our Veterans across the healthcare system."
This technology will enable faster response times, improve
transparency and strengthen officer performance and safety. Digital
evidence collected by VA officers will be securely stored and
managed in Axon Evidence, which is authorized by FedRAMP. This
authorization confirms that Axon's cloud storage has been reviewed
and approved by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security and the General Services Administration.
FedRAMP empowers agencies to use modern cloud technologies, with an
emphasis on security and protection of federal information. To
date, Axon remains the only FedRAMP-authorized digital evidence
management system cloud service provider.
"We are pleased to partner with Veterans Affairs as they deploy
body-worn and in-car cameras across their hospital networks," says
Richard Coleman, Axon Federal Senior
Vice President. "With this deployment, VA is demonstrating their
commitment to a cutting-edge healthcare security operation that
provides Veterans, guests and medical staff with a safer
environment."
