Axon UK & Ireland

Earlier this month, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and the Ministry of Justice announced a significant step forward in the fight against knife crime: a mandatory, tailored support plan for every child caught carrying a weapon. At Axon, we believe that tackling the root causes of violence requires a blend of policy and community-led intervention. That is why we are proud to continue our long-term partnership with FazAmnesty and Faron Paul. Through our collaboration, Axon has provided the FazAmnesty Community Engagement Van, which serves as a mobile hub for anonymous weapon surrender and a vital resource for engaging with young people in schools and clubs nationwide. We’ve also equipped the FazAmnesty team with Axon’s Body 4 cameras to ensure their safety and provide real-time streaming capabilities during community outreach. By supporting FazAmnesty’s work, we are helping ensure those interventions are backed by the tools and mobility needed to turn young lives away from crime. #KnifeCrime #ProtectLife #PublicSafety

It's been a great first day at Security & Policing 2026. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand D56. We’ve had some excellent conversations with public safety leaders and partners across the industry. Our team is demonstrating how connected technology helps agencies coordinate faster and respond with greater intelligence: • Axon Fusus – Real-Time Operations and Intelligence for coordinated response • Dedrone – helping agencies stop the drone threat • Axon Ecosystem – from insights to impact, boosting officer performance If you’re attending Security & Policing (10–12 March), we’d love to meet you. Visit us in Hall 1, stand D56 over the next two days to see the technology in action. #SecurityAndPolicing #ProtectLife #Axon

Thank you, West Midlands Police, for your continued partnership and leadership. We’re proud to work alongside you and look forward to seeing the positive impact across the community.

Great to see the Metropolitan Police highlighting the intense, behind-the-scenes work of their interceptor teams tackling phone snatching across London. 📱🚔 As these crimes become more sophisticated, delivering justice depends on the quality of the evidence captured in those first critical hours. At Axon, we are proud to support the Met with the tools that make this possible — from body-worn cameras to digital interviews — that provide a transparent record of the pursuit, arrest and subsequent investigation. Great work to all the teams involved in keeping our streets safe. #PublicSafety

New statistics from the Home Office reveal a sobering reality for UK policing: 1 in 5 police officers were assaulted last year. That’s 31,368 people dedicated to protecting our communities.   These figures aren’t just data points; they represent thousands of individuals facing high-pressure, often dangerous situations every day. No one should have to face being assaulted as ‘part of the job’.   Protecting those who protect us means providing them with a connected ecosystem of technology designed to de-escalate, document, and defend: • The TASER 10 energy weapon gives officers increased confidence to resolve threats from a safer distance, often without discharging the device, preventing a physical confrontation before it begins. • Our Axon Body 4 cameras don’t just capture evidence; they serve as a digital witness that can modify behaviour in the moment and provide absolute transparency for use-of-force reviews. • Through Axon VR, we are helping officers train for high-stress encounters in a safe environment, building the muscle memory needed to make split-second decisions that keep everyone safe. Technology should equip police officers with the tools they need to protect both the public and themselves. We remain committed to our mission to #ProtectLife and to reducing these numbers through innovation that prioritises officer safety.   #Axon #ProtectLife #PublicSafety #Innovation

Thank you to the Asset Watch Ltd team for your partnership and trust in deploying Axon Body 4 and Axon Evidence to strengthen accountability and operational standards. It's exciting to already hear how body-worn video is supporting transparency, professionalism, and even patrol dog training programmes, highlighting the real-world impact of connected technology.

West Midlands Police has officially rolled out the TASER 10, marking a significant step forward in the force’s commitment to officer safety.   As one of the first forces in the UK to deploy our most advanced energy device, West Midlands Police is now equipped to manage threats from a safer distance. With a range of up to 45ft (13.7m) and a 10-shot capacity, the TASER 10 provides officers with more opportunities to de-escalate high-pressure situations without the need for physical confrontation.   When integrated into the Axon ecosystem, this technology ensures that every use is: · Transparent by automatically alerting body-worn cameras to ensure an independent digital record of the event. · Proportionate by giving officers the precision to de-escalate threats safely. · Accountable by providing rigorous data for review and scrutiny as required.   We are proud to support West Midlands Police as they embrace innovation to build a safer, more confident environment for both their officers and the communities they serve.   Read more about the rollout and the impact of TASER 10 here: https://lnkd.in/gQZqN3un   #Axon #ProtectLife #PublicSafety #TASER10

This week, the second part of Sir Brian Leveson’s Independent Review of the Criminal Courts was published, a landmark report examining backlogs in our criminal justice system.   Beyond structural reforms, Sir Brian calls for courts and the criminal justice system to ‘embrace the opportunities that technology and AI give us’. This requires a technological modernisation of the entire system. Axon stands ready to meet this challenge.   Sir Brian’s report blueprints a future where AI handles the heavy lifting of evidence gathering and management. This starts in the field, where Axon’s Draft One software uses AI and body-worn camera audio to produce high-quality reports in seconds that are automatically uploaded to Axon Evidence before the officer even returns to the station.   Our AI-enabled Real-Time Translation technology was also featured as a key case study in the report as a model for how technology can deliver change for the better. Sir Brian highlighted how this tool, integrated into our body-worn cameras, is already helping officers bridge communication gaps across 50+ languages in real-time.   At Axon, we see this as more than efficiency. It’s about giving officers the time to do the job they signed up for - protecting the public and serving their community.   Read more about our contribution to the Leveson Report: https://lnkd.in/gWhbsyBS   #PublicSafety #Axon #Innovation #PoliceReform #ProtectLife

Trust isn’t built with authority; it’s built by meeting people where they are. We recently spent an afternoon on patrol in South London with Faron Paul and the FazAmnesty team to see their work in action. From the gates of Croydon College to the West Croydon bus terminal, we witnessed firsthand what community-led intervention looks like. The impact was visible in every interaction: • Real-time intervention: Within minutes of arriving, a young person approached Faron to surrender a large knife — no warning, just a quiet moment of trust that potentially saved a life. • Community presence: From parents offering thanks to local TikTok creators stopping to film, the team’s presence broke down barriers and created a safe space for young people to respond. • Mentorship in motion: Seeing young volunteers train for security qualifications while on patrol shows how FazAmnesty provide more than safety; they offer mentorship and a professional roadmap for the next generation. At Axon, we believe technology should support prevention as much as response. By equipping the team with Axon body-worn cameras and a new community engagement van, we’re helping FazAmnesty expand its reach to more streets, more schools, and more lives.

Public safety professionals are doing more than ever — and the environment they’re working in has fundamentally changed. Innovation in public safety isn’t about blame or keeping up. It’s about recognising that the job has evolved and giving agencies the space — and support — to rethink how the system works around them. In a new blog post, Vishal Dhir, Senior Vice President, Commonwealth, shares a clear message: as evidence becomes more complex and expectations continue to rise, technology alone isn’t the answer. Real progress happens when tools are paired with process change, policy alignment and the courage to ask harder questions. The agencies leading tomorrow aren’t just upgrading technology. They’re reinventing systems to help public safety professionals keep doing the vital work they already do — more efficiently and with greater impact.
