First UK police force to deploy Axon's public evidence
submission tool agency-wide
LONDON and SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies
and its United Kingdom subsidiary,
Axon Public Safety UK Limited, today announced Cumbria Constabulary
as the first police force in the UK to roll out Axon's public
evidence submission tool, Axon Citizen for Officers. In addition,
Axon announced the order of 610 Axon Body 2 and 90 Axon Flex 2
cameras by Cumbria Constabulary, all backed by the digital evidence
management platform, Evidence.com. This order was received and
shipped in the first quarter of 2018.
Axon Citizen for Officers enables police forces to securely
receive and manage one-on-one submissions relating to a specific
crime. Individuals receive a URL via text message or email that
they can click to upload their photos or video footage. The files
are uploaded directly into Evidence.com so community members do not
need to hand their phones over to police.
"We've heard from officers at our police force that Axon Citizen
for Officers is one of the best additions to their tool kit," said
Cumbria Constabulary's Superintendant Matthew Kennerley. "One of
the immediate benefits we've experienced in rolling out this
technology is eliminating the need to download, print, or
physically store pieces of video and photo evidence."
Axon is expanding the Citizen offering with the release of Axon
Citizen for Communities later this year. This product provides
polices forces the ability to create public portals for collecting
community-wide evidence on a specific crime or incident. Learn more
