MPA supports Taser’s AXON & evidence.com
MPA has been an exclusive viewer of the new video product Taser is introducing called AXON. Members of MPA were able to see the functionality of the inovative product months ago and continue to spread the word to other NAPO members. The benefits are endless, including:
- Protects officers from bogus complaints.
- Is activated by officer, much in the way officers use voice recording now.
- New tech culture has many people recording Officer involved incidents from many angles by use of video phones. Big cities having their incidents recorded by many people. Big city PDs state it is stupid of us to not record our own incidents, when people are recording us and who knows what kind of doctoring they are doing to the videos.
- All the same reasons we use car cameras- better prosecution. Can be used for training and is portable on the officers. You see what the officers sees.
- Cut down on paperwork. In testing in the UK, reports turned to bullet points stating see video, cutting down about 25% on report writing.
- Is easy to use and officer never touches video using Taser’s technology and evidence.com
- Half the price of car camera equipment.
- Complaints in UK went down to almost zero when they knew they were videoed.
- Public behaves when they know they are being videoed and officers act more professional. When they don’t behave, it’s on video.
- Had one officer been wearing the camera in the Madrigal shooting, there would be no lawsuit.

MPA is already working on grant proposals through the Department of Justice to see Mesa Police go to the next level. Taser has provided that avenue to help law enforcement mold with modern technology.
