Axon 911: intelligent emergency communications from call to closure. In 2008, Axon introduced the first body-worn camera designed for law enforcement. At the time, the market's response was skepticism: too expensive, too complicated, too much change for agencies already stretched thin. Within a decade, body-worn cameras had become standard equipment for law enforcement agencies across the United States and in more than 80 countries. Over the years, their premise changed from "recording device" to "accountability infrastructure" - and an ecosystem was built around that premise, giving agencies tools that made it easier to capture, manage, and trust critical evidence. Today, Axon Enterprise is doing it again. Today, Axon announces Axon 911: the first platform built to cover the full emergency communications lifecycle, from the moment someone calls for help to the moment a case closes. The problem Axon Enterprise chose to solve. Axon has always focused on identifying some of the most important unsolved challenges in public safety and working to solve them in a meaningful, lasting way. Like collecting and documenting evidence via body-worn cameras, Axon Enterprise recognized a larger need than simply collecting and documenting evidence. They built an ecosystem designed not to stand apart, but to better serve the agencies and communities who rely on this work every day. For emergency communications, the problem is different but structurally identical: a gap between what is known at the moment of the call and what reaches the officer, the courtroom, and the accountability record. A gap filled by legacy infrastructure designed before the digital age, maintained by a workforce in genuine crisis, and served by a vendor landscape that has competed on hardware uptime rather than human outcomes for decades. Axon Enterprise looked at that problem and saw a familiar pattern: a fragmented, hardware-defined market with no single vendor taking responsibility for the full operation. Axon Enterprise also saw an opportunity to reframe the category, from equipment to intelligence, and build a more connected ecosystem around that approach. That is Axon 911. Why Prepared and Carbyne. Axon 911 is the result of the acquisitions of Prepared and Carbyne, two companies with the same "Protect Life" mission in their DNA, and integrating into the Axon ecosystem to deliver more connected support for 911 centers and their public safety partners. Carbyne's infrastructure is trusted by hundreds of emergency communications centers worldwide, including major metro agencies managing millions of calls each year. It's the only architecture that can deliver the uptime, resilience, and scalability that modern emergency response demands. In a market dominated by on-premise hardware vendors with end-of-life timelines and planned downtime windows, Carbyne was already proving that the future of 911 infrastructure was cloud-native. Prepared is the leading AI intelligence platform for emergency communications, deployed across more than 1,000 agencies in 49 U.S. states. Prepared proved something that no other vendor in the market had demonstrated at scale: that AI applied at the moment of the call - live, in real time, without workflow disruption - changes the quality of every decision that follows and increases the probably of a positive outcome. Together, these acquisitions brought important infrastructure and intelligence capabilities into the fold. Axon Enterprise is now building on that by connecting it with its broader ecosystem and products, helping extend the value of 911 data from call to closure. What Axon 911 is. Axon 911 is organized around the required capabilities, across two layers, for 911 centers to provide the best outcome possible for the communities they serve: * The infrastructure layer: Call Handling, Continuity, and Scalability - provides the operational foundation: cloud-native voice, text, and video call handling with a 99.999% uptime SLA; automatic failover to any device or location during outages or cyberattacks; elastic capacity that scales in real time to handle mass casualty events and surge conditions; and full NENA i3 compliance with no on-premises hardware. * The intelligence layer: Engage, Assist, Triage, Command, Analyze, and Coach - transforms every incoming call into a structured intelligence event. Live video streams from the caller's device to the call-taker and field simultaneously. AI transcribes and extracts key details in real time. Seventy-plus languages are translated without additional staffing. Call prioritization routes the right resources to the right incidents. Supervisors see the full operation in real time. And automated call scoring and AI-driven coaching build stronger teams without requiring dedicated QA headcount. When the incident resolves, the complete record flows into Axon Evidence. The call audio, transcription, video, AI summaries, and dispatch logs are all preserved, searchable, and ready for accountability, review, or prosecution. The ecosystem advantage. The capabilities matter. The connected ecosystem is what can help save more lives. When an Axon 911 call center dispatches a unit, that unit is supported in real-time when wearing Axon body-worn cameras, operating Axon Fleet-equipped vehicles, connected through Axon's Real-Time Intelligence layer, and storing evidence in Axon Evidence. The intelligence generated at the 911 center doesn't need to be translated, transferred, or reconstructed at any point in the chain. It moves natively from call to officer to evidence to courtroom. This is the Axon ecosystem working as designed: every product making every other product more valuable, and the full chain more trustworthy than any individual link. What this means the future of 911. Axon Enterprise see an opportunity to rethink how technology supports 911 centers, building on its experience, infrastructure, and growing ecosystem. As Axon Enterprise continue to invest in innovation for public safety, Axon Enterprise believe there's meaningful potential to help improve outcomes and support those on the front lines. At the same time, the role of the PSAP is evolving - from an answering point to a critical link in a broader intelligence chain connecting emergencies, responders, and outcomes. Axon Enterprise is working to ensure Axon 911 supports that shift in a more connected, integrated way.

City of Vancouver to spend $375K on 50 cameras for parking enforcement officers. Permanent program follows Vancouver police's move to use same body worn cameras to reduce assaults Mar 25, 2026 4:55 PM The City of Vancouver plans to spend $375,000 to obtain 50 body cameras to ensure all parking enforcement officers are outfitted with the devices as the branch winds down its pilot project and expands to a permanent program. The cost of the cameras was posted March 20 on the city's bid page section of its website. The "notice of intent to contract" said the $375,000 would be spent over five years, or $75,000 per year, to have Axon Public Safety Canada supply the cameras for the officers. The city's communications department said in an email Wednesday that the notice was posted to allow other vendors to request more information "or lodge a concern of the contemplated sole source prior to amending the existing contract and extend the term and pricing of the current agreement." A total of 15 parking enforcement officers began wearing the Axon cameras in August 2025 as part of a six-month trial. The cameras were obtained via a previous supply agreement made between Axon and the Vancouver Police Board. Officers will continue to be equipped with the 15 cameras until the procurement process is finalized. The notice posted on the city's website March 20 says that process closes July 4, 2026. 'Meaningful decline' Vancouver police officers conducted their own six-month trial in 2024 with the cameras before making the devices a permanent addition to an officer's kit. During the trial, police recorded 6,211 videos totalling 1,055 hours. The City of Vancouver announced March 19 that it was moving to a permanent program for parking enforcement officers. The rationale was based on results that showed "a clear reduction in safety incidents with the public," a news release said. Data collected during the trial showed a "meaningful decline" in both verbal abuse and physical aggression toward officers wearing cameras, said the release, noting a 26 per cent drop in violent incidents compared to the previous year. The data also noted that camera-equipped officers reported a consistently higher sense of safety compared to those not using them. The city employs 120 full-time and part-time parking enforcement officers. Typically, 30 to 50 officers are on shift throughout the day and night from 6:15 a.m. to midnight. The city said the number varies depending on the season and major event schedules. 'Promote respectful behaviour' Further information provided to Business in Vancouver from the city showed the following results from the trial: * Most instances where a body-worn camera was activated resulted in a de-escalation of the situation. For example, out of 27 activations of the cameras during the pilot, 23 situations were de-escalated. * Parking enforcement officers participating in the trial responded bi-weekly that wearing a camera made them feel safer in 66 of 78 instances. * No complaints, privacy concerns or requests for information under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act were received during the trial. "What we saw in the pilot and heard from staff was very encouraging," said Magnus Enfeldt, the city's chief safety officer. "The cameras helped defuse situations and gave staff more confidence in their work knowing they were safer. Expanding this program is a straightforward way for us to support our frontline staff and promote respectful behaviour in our community." Assaulted once every two weeks. Enfeldt spoke to city council in October 2024. He said then that parking enforcement officers were being assaulted once every two weeks in 2023, and that incidents continued to increase. The city said the cameras, which are typically mounted on an officer's high visibility vest, are used solely as a safety measure. The cameras will not be used to enforce parking regulations. "Officers will activate the cameras only when they feel their safety is at risk and will notify individuals that recording has begun, when safe to do so," the city said. "Recordings that do not form part of an investigation will continue to be deleted within five days." The city said privacy considerations were addressed in planning the deployment of the cameras. A "privacy impact assessment" was completed. The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner was consulted to confirm that the program "met applicable privacy requirements." While parking enforcement officers and police are frequently assaulted, Enfeldt's presentation to council in 2024 also revealed other city employees have also been victims of violence. Enfeldt provided examples of assaults on an animal control officer, a firefighter, park rangers and others, including a sanitation worker who suffered a concussion and a broken tooth in an unprovoked attack.
