TASER Technology Summit: Help Shape the TASER 3.0 Revolution
Posted by Peter Holran
In a few weeks, TASER International will host the 2009 EVIDENCE.com Technology Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona. The goal is to gather key law enforcement and technology thought leaders to learn about, discuss, and ultimately guide, the final stages of the TASER 3.0 initiative.
TASER 3.0 is the future of secured digital evidence collection, storage and management. Our new integrated digital multi-media evidence storage and management platform — EVIDENCE.com — works in conjunction with the TASER® AXON™ — an on-officer tactical computer and video/audio recorder that captures incidents from the officer’s perspective. Together, the AXON system and EVIDENCE.com will revolutionize the way law enforcement safely and securely collects, stores, analyzes, and manages digital multi-media evidence.
Essentially, TASER 3.0 will provide an end-to-end solution to capture, store securely, and analyze digital evidence and information in ways that enables tactical and strategic decision making by law enforcement, as well as for legal evidentiary use.
The invaluable feedback we receive at the Technology Summit on April 28-29 will help determine the critical technology and infrastructure needs of the public safety community, as well as help us ascertain how our company and products can best provide meaningful solutions. One of my roles at the conference will be to solicit short feedback interviews (on-camera so we can capture the information thoroughly) with attendees during breaks at the event.
TASER International knows that collaboration and communication between agencies is essential in developing effective technology. We have used these collaboration methods with success in the development of TASER devices in the past, but this effort is much larger and requires much more extensive input. We take the suggestions, opinions, and even criticisms from our law enforcement customers very seriously. By hosting this Technology Summit we will provide a forum for law enforcement technology and command staff leadership to discuss the future of evidence management solutions.
A little bit about TASER 3.0: Using a camera and storing secure information may not seem like a revolutionary task at first glance. However, the current practice is to either store evidence on VHS tapes in large warehouses, in unsearchable formats, or save the data digitally, but on separate DVDs. TASER 3.0 instead is a major platform computing initiative, utilizing advanced Web 3.0 technology. For the first time, EVIDENCE.com brings software as a service to main street. It allows public safety and law enforcement quick access to key evidence data without the difficult, and sometimes impossible, inventory searches common to today’s storage methods.
Only a select few will determine the future of secured digital evidence collection, storage and management; will you be one of them?
