Axon, has announced it’s acquisition of VIEVU, the public safety camera provider and a subsidiary of Safariland.
Additionally, Axon and Safariland have also entered into a long-term strategic partnership for Safariland to become the preferred holster supplier for Axon’s TASER Conducted Electric Weapon (CEW).
VIEVU is a public safety camera and cloud-based evidence management system provider for hundreds of law enforcement agencies, which include the New York City Police Department, the Miami-Dade Police Department, the Phoenix Police Department, the Oakland Police Department and the Aurora, CO Police Department.
Axon will begin servicing those customers immediately and looks forward to partnering with them to better understand how Axon and VIEVU can best serve their needs moving forward.

“We are thrilled to be joining forces with VIEVU, a company with an established track record in the law enforcement community that shares our mission of saving lives,” said Axon CEO and founder, Rick Smith.
“The Safariland Group brands are known for their excellence in quality and for putting customers first.”
“This is a natural partnership between our companies.”
“We’re incredibly proud of the team and technologies we’ve built at VIEVU,” added VIEVU General Manager, Sean McCarthy.
“As we’ve been scaling our hardware to meet customer needs, we realized that many of the software features our customers have been requesting already exist on the Axon network.”
“Because Axon has made a significant investment in software R&D, this new partnership will give our customers access to these features sooner than it would take for us to build them.”
