Axon has announced that it will supply the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) with Axon Body 4 body-worn cameras and digital evidence management system Axon Evidence.
The decision was made following a competitive procurement process, with Axon being awarded a Public Services and Procurement Canada-led contract.
“The opportunity to support the RCMP marks a significant international milestone for Axon in our continued mission to build safer communities and protect more lives in more places,” said Axon President Josh Isner.
According to the company, once the rollout is complete, the RCMP will have deployed more than 10,000 Axon Body 4 body-worn cameras to frontline contract and federal police officers who serve communities across Canada’s rural, urban and remote locations.
In addition to body-worn cameras, the RCMP is deploying Axon Evidence across its service, enabling secure storage, management and sharing of evidentiary data.
The company highlights that the Axon Body 4 integrates seamlessly with Axon Evidence, automatically uploading video to a secure cloud environment that ensures a strict chain of custody protecting the data and integrity of the videos.
Axon Evidence leverages AI-powered tools and advanced technologies to quickly locate, transcribe and redact critical footage, saving officers significant time in reviewing evidence.
