Police officers are in the field in all weather and for long periods and, at times, their work will involve chasing people and physical confrontation. It follows that their equipment must be durable, comfortable and unobtrusive to wear and seamlessly fit into their working lives. Achieving these goals requires an innovative product design and an obsession with seemingly small details. It’s the kind of work that Kevin Coles thrives on. He’s a product designer, who has been devising and manufacturing the accessories and mounts for Axon products used by the country’s police forces. Here he gives five observations on what most influences his team’s work. · The devil is in the detail · Considering all eventualities · It’s all about empathy · What is design thinking? · Taking a holistic approach to design

Agencies must be sure that they are choosing the right technology platform. It is not enough to adopt a cloud storage system for body camera video and audio.
Law enforcement agencies may collect hundreds of hours of video footage, thousands of digital images, and hours of digital audio recordings every single week. We don’t believe you should spend that much time hunting for important evidence. With Evidence.com, you don’t have to.
Adopting new technology can place an enormous burden on law enforcement agencies. Managing the massive amounts of data digital technology can produce is a time-consuming and complex task. Many agencies are already struggling to keep up with the demand, and most don’t have long-term storage plans in place.
The time it takes to ingest evidence is keeping your officers off the streets. It doesn’t have to. With our Axon solutions, you can use technology to streamline your evidence-related processes.
Watch our latest webinar on Digital Evidence Management to learn more about how to evaluate your current evidence management workflow to better streamline the process from capture to courtroom.
