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 Product

We are passionate about bringing state-of-the-art technology to law enforcement. Unfortunately many officers today are forced to work with software that looks and functions like it was built in the '90s. Axon is dedicated to delivering a connected devices experience that consists of both hardware and software working together to allow law enforcement and first responders to better serve communities around the world. This is the IoT of public safety, and as the Product Designer for the Armory Squad, you will be thinking about both the end-user experience of police officers, the public, and first responders, as well as the set-up and management of connected devices at scale. The products you ship will make a direct impact in the daily life of police officers around the world.
