Protect Life. Obsolete the bullet. Global tech company dedicated to capturing truth with connected cameras & devices.

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.

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.

    "In his department's first month of testing Draft One, officers said it saved them about 50 hours overall." Draft One is revolutionizing the way police departments handle report writing —boosting efficiency, and freeing up officers to spend more time in the field where they’re needed most. Draft One was designed to help officers create clear, concise reports efficiently, with built-in safeguards to ensure accuracy. However, one unexpected benefit, as noted by product designer Noah Spitzer-Williams, is that it encourages officers to be more verbal during incidents, capturing key details in the audio transcript. This not only enhances report quality but also improves transparency and strengthens community relations. With AI-driven innovation like Draft One, police departments are seeing improved efficiency without compromising the integrity of their reports.
