Axon

Axon is a public safety technology company best known for its TASER devices, police body cameras and cloud-based evidence management software, and this listing represents its presence in Boston. Its products serve law enforcement agencies, militaries, hospitals, retailers and other organizations that protect public spaces. The company’s stated mission is to protect life, and it has set a goal of cutting gun-related deaths between police and the public in half by 2033 through less-lethal technology, training and partnerships.

Formerly known as TASER International, the company renamed itself Axon in 2017 and is headquartered in Arizona. Its portfolio now extends well beyond stun devices: drone-as-first-responder programs built with Skydio and Dedrone, real-time operations tools that pull together camera feeds and sensor data, and artificial intelligence features such as Axon Assistant. Customers range from police departments and district attorneys’ offices to hospitals such as Texas Children’s, which used Axon tools to reduce workplace violence.
