Our mission is to protect life.

We’re out to make the world a safer place by solving big problems and taking on the public safety challenges of our time. From our company's inception building the TASER device to a full suite of hardware and software solutions, we are focused on providing police agencies with the state-of-the-art devices and services they need to successfully serve and protect us. In the next few years, we're going to eliminate the burden of paperwork in policing, so officers can increase the time they spend building relationships and serving in their communities. We’ll put video at the heart of the police record so our justice system can get to the truth faster. And we won't stop innovating until the bullet is rendered obsolete.

It’s a big mission, but it’s one we’ll pursue relentlessly every single day. 

The Mission

Imagine this. You work at a company whose goal is to make the bullet obsolete. I know. It's nuts. It's controversial. But solving really hard problems isn't easy. It is, however, terribly exciting. Axon is is diving hard into storytelling at the mass level to educate, inspire and propel public safety into the 21st Century. Short films, documentaries, fantastic social content...whatever it takes. We're creating VR to provide empathy training so officers are empowered to de-escalate situations in nonlethal ways (Yes!). Our creative team is growing and we're doing some of the craziest work you are ever likely to try in your career. People think they have to sacrifice sufficient pay for being a part of a mission, or vice versa. We disagree. You are valued, and your talents are valuable and are desperately needed. If you are a mission-driven social media talent with a steep career trajectory, read on.
