New significant orders were placed for TASER 7 Conducted Energy Weapons (CEWs) from Axon, a global leader in connected public safety technologies.
The TASER 7 is the most effective TASER weapon yet, with services that are seamlessly integrated into Axon Evidence.
Misses. Clothing disconnects. Close probe spreads. TASER 7 is the most effective CEW ever because of dramatically improved performance in all three of these areas – giving officers even more confidence to de-escalate or pause dangerous situations.

DE-ESCALATE WITH CONFIDENCE
New Rapid Arc technology outperforms all previous CEWs – even in instances of narrow probe spreads – and Adaptive Cross Connect enables full incapacitation even at close range.
Spiral darts fly straighter and faster towards a daylight green laser with nearly double the kinetic energy to compress loose and hanging clothing.
CONNECT TO SAVE TIME
Rechargeable batteries and inventory management automation will tap the power of the Axon network and improve workflows – including dock and walk – so officers can spend more time policing.
FOCUS ON COMMUNITIES
With greater power comes greater responsibility. Axon Academy delivers smarter training using new techniques to drive deeper learning and show your community your commitment to safety.
CLOSE-RANGE OPTIMIZED
93% increased probe spread at close range, where 85% of deployments occur, according to agency reports.
IMPROVED DARTS
TASER 7 darts fly straighter and faster with nearly twice the kinetic energy for better connection to the target, and the body of the dart breaks away to allow for attainment at tough angles.
ADAPTIVE CROSS-CONNECT
Electricity is intentionally driven between all contacts to maximize the effectiveness of the probe deployment and to help compensate for close probe spreads or clothing disconnects.
RAPID ARC
Delivers similar electrical charge as previous models but at a faster rate, causing more rapid incapacitation
All TASER 7 units ship with battery docks that recharge the batteries and upload weapon usage data to Axon Evidence, similar to the “dock and walk” system that agencies deploy with Axon body cameras.
“Equipping our deputies with this next generation TASER weapon provides them an important less-lethal option to help de-escalate situations that could otherwise end in tragedy,” said Sheriff Wayne Ivey of Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.
“Protecting our citizens and our deputies is the single most important thing we do and this new generation of TASER weapons is vital to their safety.”
“In Coral Gables we continue to evaluate officer safety and look at the latest technologies,” says CGPD Chief Edward J. Hudak Jr.
“We believe this will be cutting-edge technology for years to come; therefore we’re moving forward with the TASER 7 to save lives of both officers and people that we have to take into custody.”
