Axon has been a proud long-time supporter of IACP, sharing the organization’s commitment to advancing safer communities with thoughtful police leadership. IACP’s annual conference is the largest law enforcement event of the year, drawing more than 16,000 public safety professionals from around the globe.
“This is a particularly special year for Axon as we celebrate our 30th anniversary and unwavering partnership with public safety in helping to protect life,” said Axon CEO and Founder Rick Smith. “Last year at IACP, we announced a moonshot goal to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public in the U.S. by 50% in the next decade. One year later, we have an incredible roster of law enforcement, community and industry partners who have joined the mission. We look forward to ongoing discussions on advancing this goal together at IACP, along with sharing some key areas of progress.”
At IACP this year, Axon will showcase several giant leaps in technology, training and data that will help accelerate progress toward achieving our moonshot. Axon is also proud to provide a forum to honor and celebrate law enforcement heroes from around the world:
