In 2020, the City renewed its agreement with Axon and upgraded to the Taser 7 and the Axon Body 3 cameras. The City’s current agreement with Axon expires on November 30, 2025. DISCUSSION Axon provides Tasers, a BWC system, evidence retention software, training, and supporting software in a package that includes support, replacement, and maintenance for five years. The most current hardware models offered by Axon and included in the proposed agreement include the Taser 10 and the Axon Body 4 camera, which feature enhanced features while retaining desired functionality from previous models. Taser 10 The City currently uses the Axon Taser 7 as its CED. Tasers are loaded with single-use cartridges which, when deployed, launch two probes simultaneously. The updated Taser 10 included in the proposed agreement features a redesigned cartridge that fires one probe at a time and carries a total of ten probes. This gives the officer the ability to fire the probes more precisely and provides eight additional opportunities to secure a connection before needing to replace the Taser cartridge. This improves the likelihood of a successful CED deployment. The renewed Axon contract includes updated training resources and an allotment of training cartridges. Officers will need to be trained in the new features of the Taser 10. Pleasanton Police Department Policy Manual Section 309 addresses the use of CEDs/ Tasers Attachment 1). Taser Use Statistics The City tracks the deployment of CEDs (Tasers).

The Body 4 BWC is the newest model with improved real-time communication capabilities, a wider field of view, better image quality, and extended battery life. Features currently used include automatic uploading and “tagging” of BWC footage, automatic activation of BWCs when Tasers are activated, firearms are drawn from officers’ holsters, or the BWCs believe they hear a gunshot.
