SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies,
today announced that the United States Forest Service (USFS) will
outfit officers and agents across its law enforcement and
investigative agency with Axon Body 2 cameras backed by the digital
evidence management system, Axon Evidence (Evidence.com). The USFS
has been a TASER Conducted Energy Weapon customer since 2008 and
began an agency-wide deployment of TASER X26Ps in 2018. USFS Law
Enforcement and Investigations is the first federal law enforcement
agency to adopt Axon's full less-lethal ecosystem. This order was
received in the third quarter of 2019 and will deploy in multiple
phases.
In addition to the Axon Body 2 cameras, the USFS also
ordered Axon Signal Performance Power Magazine (SPPM), a CEW
battery that alerts cameras on the Axon network to begin recording
when the safety is in the "armed" position. The SPPM will be
incorporated into all TASER X26P CEWs deployed across the
agency.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Forest Service, the first
federal agency to deploy Axon's ecosystem of life saving
technologies across their law enforcement enterprise," says
Richard Coleman, Axon's VP and GM,
Federal. "The Forest Service's mission to sustain the health,
diversity, and productivity of the 193 million acres of our
nation's forests and grasslands is uniquely critical and important
and it's a mission we at Axon are proud to support."
USFS adoption of the Axon network represents an important
milestone in Axon's entry into the federal civilian law enforcement
market, which has more than 120,000 officers who are authorized to
make arrests and carry firearms, according to the US Justice
Dept.
