THIS IS OUR MOONSHOT
The Axon Public Safety Gun Fatality Database provides a comprehensive view of gunfire fatalities between police and the public in the United States, including the deaths of both civilians and law enforcement officers. The goal is to provide an impartial view of relevant information available on each incident, so that law enforcement, government and community leaders, members of the private sector, academia, media, and the general public can reference and use the database. The more we can collectively learn from these unfortunate and devastating encounters, the better we will be at developing solutions to keep them from happening — whether through technology, training, policy, or shared understanding and trust. Ultimately, the goal is to protect life.
Axon announces 2023 baseline data for moonshot goal
In 2022, 59 law enforcement officers and 1,142 civilians were killed during police-public encounters. This is the baseline metric for the moonshot goal.
Axon is rallying partners around a moonshot goal to cut all gun-related deaths between police and the public by 50% in 10 years.
The clock began on Jan. 1, 2023, using 2022 data as the baseline number. Now, it’s up to law enforcement, communities, government, research, and private sector leaders to work together to cut the number in half by 2033.
