United States Marshals Service Adopts TASER 10 and Virtual Reality Training Solutions
A New Era in Law Enforcement Training
The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is set to adopt new TASER 10 devices and virtual reality (VR) training solutions. This move is crucial for training and equipping Deputy U.S. Marshals in tasks such as fugitive apprehension, judiciary security, and protecting witnesses under the Witness Security Division.
Advanced Capabilities of TASER 10
The TASER 10 features advanced capabilities that significantly enhance its functionality. It can deploy 10 individually targeted probes at a range of up to 45 feet. This feature allows users to create their own spread, giving them more time and space for decision-making and risk reduction when stopping a threat.
Leveraging Virtual Reality Training
By incorporating Axon's VR Training Solutions, the USMS will benefit from extensive training without the need for live cartridge consumption. VR training helps officers build muscle memory and achieve proficiency with TASER devices, enabling them to train at any time and at a fraction of traditional costs.
Enhanced Public Safety and Accountability
According to Axon President Josh Isner, "Protecting life is at the core of everything we do at Axon." Isner emphasized that this partnership would allow the USMS to engage in realistic VR scenarios, enhancing public safety and promoting accountability for both officers and the communities they serve.
Integration with Body-Worn Cameras
The TASER 10 integrates seamlessly with Axon body-worn cameras using signal activation. This feature ensures that the cameras automatically activate when the TASER is drawn from its holster, capturing critical moments and enhancing situational awareness and accountability.
This system is supported by Axon's digital evidence management system, which has achieved FedRAMP High Authorization for U.S. government customers.
Axon's Role in Global Public Safety
Axon is a technology leader in global public safety, offering a suite of products including TASER devices, body-worn cameras, in-car cameras, and cloud-hosted digital evidence management solutions. Their ecosystem supports a growing global customer base, including first responders from various sectors such as law enforcement, fire services, corrections, and emergency medical services.
Conclusion
The USMS's adoption of the TASER 10 and VR training solutions highlights a significant step towards enhancing public safety through advanced technology and realistic training. This integration ensures a cohesive approach to law enforcement, promoting safety, accountability, and efficiency within the agency and the communities they protect.
