Axon (Nasdaq: AXON), the global leader in connected public safety technologies, today announced that the Columbus Division of Police (OH), a Major Cities Chiefs Association member, has signed a 5-year contract with Axon to deploy 2,000 Axon Body 3 cameras, 75 Axon Flex 2 cameras, 15 Axon Interview systems, 460 Axon Fleet 3 in-car camera systems featuring Axon's AI-powered automated license plate reader (ALPR) and 2,017 licenses for Axon Evidence, Axon's digital evidence management system.

The agency will also receive unlimited 3rd party storage with Axon Evidence and can manage and share all digital evidence in one management tool.
