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 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. 

Your Impact

Have you ever wondered if you can design to save lives? At Axon our mission is to protect life. We are passionate about bringing state of the art technology to law enforcement, so officers can focus on helping their communities.

The in-car and connected devices experience consists of both hardware devices and software applications that are used together to allow law enforcement and first responders to better serve communities around the world. This is the IoT of public safety. Products include connected in-car camera systems, sensors, body cameras and smart Taser devices as well as in-car software and mobile applications. You will be thinking about both the end-user experience of police officers, the public and first responders as well as how to set up and manage connected devices at scale.

We believe that happy teams take good care of their customers, so we foster a friendly, open, introspective team culture that encourages everyone to speak their mind and deliberately avoids red tape, unnecessary rituals, politics, and jerks. We are hyper vigilant on productivity, and focused on not having senseless meetings or processes and we emphasize planning to keep our work-life balance healthy and sustainable.

We believe we can only succeed if we deeply understand our customers and get to know them personally. We spend time with law enforcement officers to learn about their needs, watch their experience and see the real impact of our work. Your first ride-along with a patrol officer will forever change your perception of what the job is, and what the city is like.
