Axon revealed groundbreaking AI-driven advancements in real-time intelligence during its Axon Week 2026 event, significantly enhancing public safety operations.
These new tools empower agencies to detect incidents earlier, access crucial data swiftly, and coordinate responses more effectively whilst safeguarding data integrity throughout the incident lifecycle.
Incident occurrences
Each year in the United States, the 911 emergency system receives over 240 million calls. Increasingly, these calls are accompanied by video, images, and telemetry data, further compounded by the vast amounts of footage generated by body-worn and static cameras. This extensive "data tax" can lead to critical information being dispersed among various systems, potentially delaying response times and elevating risks for both officers and the communities they serve.
"Axon’s customers are being asked to do more with greater transparency and higher expectations," stated Rick Smith, Founder and CEO of Axon. "We are breaking down information barriers and providing a secure, compliant foundation to help prevent harm, accelerate justice and protect life in the communities our customers serve."
Latest technology
Axon enhances clarity, speed and coordination across live video, 911, and reportingUtilising the latest technological advancements, Axon introduces a new level of clarity, speed, and coordination across live video, 911, and reporting processes. The AI platform seamlessly integrates data, devices, and workflows within the public safety sector, reducing the complexities faced by officers who previously managed isolated systems, thus enabling precise and prompt agency responses.
These enhancements continue to uphold a secure and compliant foundation, ensuring agency data remains protected with fully auditable interactions. They extend the unified intelligence layer over real-time video and emergency workflows, thereby strengthening operational efficiency.
Axon Vision: Real-time video awareness
Axon Vision provides a solution to the overwhelming task of monitoring millions of CCTV cameras nationwide. Utilising artificial intelligence, the system identifies critical activities in live video streams as they occur, allowing operators to focus on significant events.
Alerts prompt operators to verify situations using nearby cameras and assess appropriate responses promptly.
Axon Assistant: Enhancing workflows
The Axon Assistant, initially launched with body-worn cameras, is now expanding its capabilities across the Axon Ecosystem to include secure, compliance-based access to data through Axon Evidence and the Axon App.
This tool, compliant with FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy, integrates AI to facilitate everyday police activities such as issuing Be On The Lookout (BOLO) alerts and performing case research, supporting seamless communication between field operations and administrative functions.
Axon 911: Redefining emergency response
Following strategic acquisitions of companies Prepared and Carbyne, Axon 911 introduces a cutting-edge cloud-based platform that revolutionises traditional 911 centre operations.
By integrating emergency data efficiently into response workflows, this new system provides responders with essential situational context before arriving on the scene, drastically transforming emergency response dynamics.
