SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), today announced the first domestic sale of its revolutionary new evidence capturing and management platform. The on-officer tactical computer, AXONTM, records audio and visual evidence from the perspective of the officer, which is then transferred, stored and managed using EVIDENCE.COMTM.
"Through field testing we determined that this system would improve our ability to protect and serve the people of Aberdeen," said Aberdeen Chief of Police, Don E. Lanpher, Jr. "It also has the potential to reduce costs by helping us become more efficient."
TASER will deliver 20 AXON tactical computers and a SYNAPSETM Evidence Transfer Manager (ETM) to Aberdeen during the second quarter of 2010, and will provide the Department technical and user support for three years. Support for EVIDENCE.COM is included in the contract.
"It's very satisfying to reach this point," said Tom Smith, Chairman and founder of TASER International. "TASER is committed to developing innovative technologies that ensure accountability and protect truth. To see this project come to fruition while envisioning the impact it can have, makes it all worthwhile. This is a major milestone not only for TASER, but also for the Aberdeen Police Department – and hopefully for a lot of other law enforcement agencies and the cities they serve."
The AXON System is an integrated audiovisual recording device comprised of a headcam, communications hub and tactical computer worn by the officer. Audiovisual evidence acquired by AXON is then transferred to EVIDENCE.COM, a cloud-based data repository, using SYNAPSE ETM. Altogether they provide a seamless, highly secure and efficient process for gathering and managing high-quality evidence, allowing law and legal professionals to access data quickly and easily without compromising its integrity. The System also makes collaboration and coordination feasible, further increasing the value of the evidence. Learn more at www.EVIDENCE.COM.
