About us

Our story began in September of 1993 when TASER International was founded by CEO Rick Smith with his brother Tom Smith. They consulted with Jack Cover, former NASA scientist and inventor of the original TASER® conducted energy weapons of the 1970s. Rick Smith was inspired to found the company after losing two high school football teammates who were shot and killed in a road rage incident. This experience led him to seek new technologies that would enable people to protect themselves without deploying lethal force in hopes of creating a bullet-less world. Today, Axon represents the entire network of devices, applications and people that is revolutionizing public safety around the world. Our mission is to protect life. We’re building the world’s largest and most trusted suite of public safety solutions. If you are seeking a career with purpose, we invite you to join us. Learn more at: axon.com/careers This is Our Moonshot Gun-related deaths between police and the public have risen steadily for at least the past six years. In 2021 in the U.S., 1,118 people — 1,054 civilians and 64 officers — lost their lives in gun-related incidents between police and the public, according to leading data sources. In response, Axon is rallying partners around a “moonshot” goal to cut gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% by 2033.

    How can SkySwap help agencies maintain secure, uninterrupted operations? 🤔 SkySwap gives public safety agencies a seamless path to transition from legacy or non-compliant drones without disrupting critical operations. By trading in non-compliant systems, agencies receive credit toward secure and NDAA-compliant Axon Air Drone as First Responder (DFR) technology — helping them stay mission-ready while maintaining compliance with the evolving regulatory landscape. The program is designed to minimize downtime, so teams can maintain readiness without interruption. In addition to the trade-in value, agencies gain access to a fully integrated, autonomous DFR solution backed by Axon. This includes options like the Skydio X10, a secure, American-made drone built for low-light performance and autonomous flight and the X10 Dock, which enables 24/7 rapid deployment in any environment. When combined with real-time situational awareness via Axon Fusus and secure evidence management through Axon Evidence, agencies are equipped to maintain continuity and public trust. SkySwap is more than a compliance solution — it redefines what’s possible in modern public safety. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/emWgTDVb #Axon #ProtectLife
