Overview
Axon builds public safety technology for police, emergency responders and security teams, combining connected devices with software that manages their work. Its TASER weapons and body cameras link field equipment to a cloud platform used throughout an investigation. Agencies use Axon Evidence to store recordings, control access and share case material with prosecutors, while its records and real-time operations tools organize reports and coordinate responses. Axon earns money from device sales and subscriptions that combine software, equipment upgrades and support over multiple years. Founded in 1993, Axon is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
