Recently, Washington State Patrol responded to 911 calls about a kitten stranded on the shoulder of a very busy interstate. The rescue, captured on #AxonBodyCam, shows troopers pulling the scared kitten from under a concrete barrier and carrying him to safety. But the story didn’t end there. After a quick ride in the patrol car and a check-up at the vet, the kitten became the newest addition to a trooper’s family. #Axon #ProtectLife

About us
Our story began in September of 1993 when TASER International was founded by CEO Rick Smith with his brother Tom Smith. They consulted with Jack Cover, former NASA scientist and inventor of the original TASER® conducted energy weapons of the 1970s. Rick Smith was inspired to found the company after losing two high school football teammates who were shot and killed in a road rage incident. This experience led him to seek new technologies that would enable people to protect themselves without deploying lethal force in hopes of creating a bullet-less world. Today, Axon represents the entire network of devices, applications and people that is revolutionizing public safety around the world. Our mission is to protect life. We’re building the world’s largest and most trusted suite of public safety solutions. If you are seeking a career with purpose, we invite you to join us.

In 2021 in the U.S., 1,118 people — 1,054 civilians and 64 officers — lost their lives in gun-related incidents between police and the public, according to leading data sources. In response, Axon is rallying partners around a “moonshot” goal to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% by 2033.

On last night’s segment, NBC Nightly News covered the impact of Axon Assistant’s Real-Time Translation in reshaping public safety communication across language gaps and why it’s gaining interest beyond local agencies. “You see their faces light up,” one Joliet officer shared, describing the moment someone realizes they’re being understood. Since June, Joliet Police Department has used the tool to translate more than 1,800 conversations across 23 languages. In one case, it helped officers collect critical details in Vietnamese that led to the recovery of a missing child. With Axon Assistant, officers can speak AND listen with clarity during multilingual interactions using the same body-worn cameras already on shift. It’s a direct way to gather essential information in the field and help communities feel heard and supported in real time. Video credit: NBC News #Axon #ProtectLife

They’ve stood in unfamiliar places, accepted immense responsibilities and faced moments most of us will never fully understand. Today on #VeteransDay, we pause to recognize the people behind that service. The discipline, the ability to lead under pressure and the deep commitment to something greater than oneself. We’re proud to work alongside teammates who once served in uniform and now continue to make an impact in different ways. And we remain grateful for the millions of veterans across the country whose dedication has left a lasting mark on our communities. Thank you for your service. Today and always. #Axon #ProtectLife

“We found two very complementary businesses. Prepared allows us to go fast into any 911 call center and then Carbyne allows those customers to then go deep and get out of the business of running all the hardware and move their entire 911 infrastructure to the cloud. And those two together we think are like chocolate and peanut butter.” Axon CEO + Founder Rick Smith joined Bloomberg late last week to discuss the future of critical 911 technology. With Prepared by Axon now part of the Axon Ecosystem and our planned acquisition of Carbyne, our goal is to modernize 911 operations by combining AI, voice and cloud infrastructure to usher in a new era of connected, confident emergency response.

At the Axon Canada Tech Summit 2025 🇨🇦, we got straight to the work that matters with real talk, real tech and real people driving meaningful change in public safety. Senior government officials, first responders, community voices and industry innovators filled the room, each playing a role in pushing progress forward. Rick Smith took the stage to spotlight how AI is "fundamentally transforming public safety" and helping agencies around the world protect more lives in more places. A big thank you to every speaker, guest, partner and customer who joined us. What started in that room is already shaping what’s next in public safety across Canada. #Axon #ProtectLife

Josh Guthrie returns to share how Draft One's Post-Incident Narration helps officers tell the full story with confidence. This feature prompts officers to add information that wasn't said out loud in the recording before generating their first draft — whether it’s clarifying an important detail, including intel from another officer, or explaining the reason behind a decision. This leads to a stronger, more detailed first draft right from the start. Check out more tips and tricks for Draft One at https://lnkd.in/gTjxt8FE #Axon #ProtectLife

Exciting week at the Overland Park Police Department! This week, our partners from Axon were in the department providing hands-on training and equipping our officers and team with new body-worn cameras, another major step forward in integrating our technology into one connected ecosystem. This partnership represents more than just new equipment. Its about innovation, transparency, and our continued commitment to both officer safety and community trust. By bringing our tools, data, and communication systems together, we’re creating a smarter, more efficient, and more accountable public safety model for the future. We’re proud to partner with Axon and excited for what’s ahead as we continue to modernize our department and enhance service to our community. #Innovation #Technology #PublicSafety #Axon #Leadership #CommunityTrust #OverlandPark

When Oklahoma City Police Department made the move to Axon Records, they found a system built differently — one that connects reports, digital evidence, case management and more into a single workflow. As a result, officers are working faster, supervisors have better visibility and the entire department is operating more efficiently than ever before. Join us on November 12 at 12PM CT to see how Axon Records is redefining Records Management Systems and shaping the future of law enforcement technology ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gAU3KGkd #Axon #ProtectLife
