Axon, a global public safety technology leader, recently announced new corrections deployments across four states, providing advanced solutions to help keep both staff and incarcerated individuals safe.
Axon Corrections integrates real-time tools across facilities, boosting operational efficiency and visibility for staff. Agencies implementing these solutions have witnessed measurable improvements in safety, including reductions in staff assaults and use of force.
- The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (NYS DOCCS) has deployed Axon’s connected ecosystem, including Body 4 cameras, Fusus, Fleet in-car video, Dedrone and Skydio drones, across its 42 facilities and 15,000 officers, and is now testing additional AI tools.
- The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC), the first rehabilitation facility in the nation to adopt body-worn cameras, has added Axon TASER devices to reduce officer assaults and is piloting AI tools to support productivity and decision-making.
- The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (Maryland DPSCS) is adopting Axon Body 4 cameras across all 17 facilities following a successful trial period that saw staff assaults drop 40% in August, compared to the same month last year.
- The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NCDAC) has expanded their connected technology platform to promote safety and efficiency, including additional TASER 10 energy weapons, Axon Body 4 cameras, Fusus real-time operations solution, Dedrone airspace security systems, and Skydio drones. The first correctional institution to deploy TASER 10 in 2022, NCDAC’s Community Supervision department reported an 87% force avoidance rate, where 46 out of 53 incidents were resolved by show of force alone.
“Body-worn cameras serve as an accountability tool for us and add additional protections for the incarcerated individuals in our custody,” said David Greene, Deputy Secretary of Operations, Maryland DPSCS. “We’re proud to join other leading correctional institutions across the country in implementing this technology, and are already seeing positive results.”
