Axon Enterprise, Inc., formerly known as TASER International, is a technology company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, that designs, manufactures and sells public safety technology and weapons. The company’s flagship products include conducted energy weapons (commonly known by the brand name TASER), in-car and body-worn cameras, and cloud-based software platforms for managing digital evidence. Axon positions its portfolio as an end-to-end ecosystem aimed at law enforcement agencies and public safety organizations around the world.
Axon’s hardware offerings comprise the TASER line of devices—designed to provide a non-lethal alternative for use-of-force situations—and a suite of camera products, including Axon Body cameras for officers and Axon Fleet systems for vehicles. Complementing these devices is Axon Evidence, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution formerly known as Evidence.com, which enables secure uploading, storage, annotation and sharing of audio, video and other forms of digital evidence via a cloud-hosted platform. The company has also expanded into artificial intelligence tools that help agencies search, redact and analyze large volumes of multimedia data.
Founded in 1993 by brothers Rick and Tom Smith, the business originally operated under the name TASER International before rebranding to Axon Enterprise in 2017 to reflect its broader focus on connected public safety technology. From its base in Arizona, Axon serves customers across North America, Europe, Australia and select other regions, supporting thousands of law enforcement agencies, military units and security teams with training, support and integration services.
Axon is led by co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Rick Smith, who has guided the company’s evolution from a single-product manufacturer into a diversified technology provider. Throughout its history, Axon has emphasized research and development in both hardware and software, with the stated goal of reducing the burden of evidence management and improving transparency and accountability in public safety operations.
