How the Dominican National Police are protecting more lives in more places with Axon

The Dominican National Police is one of many agencies around the globe leveraging the Axon ecosystem to drive better public safety outcomes.

As seen in this case study, Axon’s connected devices have been force multipliers and critical to the agency’s approach referred to as “quadrant patrolling.” Learn more below:

Safer communities

The use of Axon Body and TASER devices have not only increased the safety of officers, but community members as a whole. Some of the reasons are obvious: TASER weapons are now being deployed during tense situations, as opposed to previously where lethal weapons were required to either deter or engage criminals.

What is revolutionary about the Axon ecosystem is TASER’s ability to activate body-worn camera (BWC) recording. This functionality is leveraged to deploy more officers to an incident because these feeds are integrated into a real-time operations center.

As mentioned by Major Alejandro Aracena, simply activating the energy weapon often de-escalates a situation, but Axon Body-Worn Cameras further prioritize officer safety by increasing situational awareness throughout the agency, making command staff’s job more streamlined.

A new era of public safety technology: key takeaways

The Dominican National Police’s approach shows how the Axon ecosystem has changed the public-safety landscape by capturing truth and accelerating justice.

Coronel Diego Pesqueira highlights how the use of this technology has created an unprecedented situation for the community they serve: Not only have they experienced a reduction in criminal activity where quadrant policing is implemented, but the community’s attitude about transparency has shifted in a positive way because of Axon’s ability to capture incidents as they unfold.

Moreover, BWCs have streamlined response and investigations: footage from these devices automatically uploads into Axon Evidence, eliminating the hassle of transporting physical evidence.

Ultimately, this has created a better workflow for officers and saved hours on administrative tasks and digital evidence management.

All of these tools in concert with one another have established a level of previously unseen trust on behalf of the community.
