Consumers can trade in previous TASER Pulse model for next generation TASER device

TASER Self-Defense, the consumer division of Axon, today announced its new TASER Pulse+, the first TASER consumer product to incorporate Noonlight's new Bluetooth plugin technology that has the capability to notify emergency services when the TASER device is deployed. Now through January 1, 2019, used TASER Pulse devices can be traded in for a $250 credit towards the purchase of a TASER Pulse+. Additionally, a new financing option for the TASER Self-Defense consumer product line allows customers to finance the TASER Pulse+ over 12 months with a monthly payment of $39. For more information and to pre-order the TASER Pulse+ visit: pulseplus.taser.com

TASER Self-Defense customers now have the option to pay over time using ReCharge. ReCharge allows you to break up payments for a TASER Pulse+ or TASER StrikeLight device in 12-month installments.

The TASER Bolt device is being retired as of October 17, 2018.

The TASER Bolt has been a valued product line since 2002, and this end of life decision was made as part of our on-going product lifecycle management process. As TASER device technology continues to evolve, first generation products eventually reach the end of their useful life and components become increasingly harder to source, making support for these products no longer feasible. We will still offer the TASER Pulse as a suggested replacement.

Today is International Women's Day, a celebration of the achievements of women all over the globe. We are in a unique spot this year because there is strong global momentum towards gender equality. Yet, we're still too far from where we need to be. The World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap 2017 report showed that gender parity across the world continues to widen and will now take over two centuries to achieve. Two centuries.

The debate over the legalization of conductive electronic weapons (CEWs) found its way into our nation’s capital earlier this year.

A major change came to Georgia college campuses this year, and we’re not talking about a new science building.

In the midst of legal battles for civilian TASER ownership, let’s take a look at a recent victory for conductive electronic weapons (CEWs).

In 2006, New Jersey became the last state to authorize the use of TASER weapons for local law enforcement, but they may not be the last to legalize them for the general public.
