In the early morning hours of June 15, an Ohio Corporal received a frantic 911 call from a new mom who was unable to feed her one-week-old baby. The Miami Township Police officer immediately went to a closed grocery store in the middle of the night to personally buy formula and a bottle. Thank you to Corporal Willoughby for his extremely thoughtful and kind actions to help a community member in need. #AxonBodyCam #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 response, Axon is rallying partners around a “moonshot” goal to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% by 2033.

"You and me are all that matter…” Recently, a Phoenix Police officer used his de-escalation training when responding to a call about a man in crisis. The officer approached the situation with the ultimate goal of minimizing harm above all else. After an hour of speaking with the man, the officer was able to peacefully resolve the situation and get the man the help that he needed. This officer is an incredible example of utilizing force avoidance techniques effectively when it comes to mental health.
