INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Axon’s TASER 10 Certification Plan will give Oakland County MI Sheriff's Office access to an
ecosystem of connected hardware and software. The solutions included in the TASER 10
Certification Plan were designed to integrate with one another and intentionally built to help improve
day -to-day law enforcement activities. By bundling these solutions into one cost-effective package,
Oakland County MI Sheriff's Office can begin leveraging all the necessary tools to improve
efficiency across the agency while keeping officers and communities safe.
By investing in this solution as a bundle as opposed to à la carte purchases, Oakland County MI
Sheriff's Office will receive an overall savings of $1,157,216.36 throughout a 10-year contract.
POLICY ANALYSIS
The current agreement between the Sheriff's Office (OCSO) and Axon Enterprise, Inc. expires on
December 31, 2023. The OCSO is requesting approval of a 10-year agreement with Axon to
administer TASER 10 devices. The OCSO taser program has been on a 5-year rotating
replacement schedule which required training on two different platforms at one time. The new
technology is significantly different, and it is recommended to have all deputies trained on the same
less-lethal model. The agreement allows for an equipment refresh after 5 years.
Future funding for the 10-year agreement with Axon Enterprise Inc. will be incorporated during the
FY 2025-27 budget development process.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: Yes

DETAILED SOLUTION OVERVIEW
TASER 10 CERTIFICATION PLAN
The solutions that make up our comprehensive TASER 10 Certification Plan offering
include:
//T A S E R 1 0
The TASER 10 energy weapon is the most current
generation TASER device, providing officers with the most
effective Less -Lethal option available . This device is vital
when the de -escalation of potenti ally violent citizen s is
necessary and prioritized over more dangerous and
injurious force. This field -proven device employs life -
saving technology —utilizing Neuromuscular
Incapacitation —to safely immobilize a suspect from as
close as 0 feet , and up to 45 feet away, leading to far safer outcomes, far more often.
A dditionally, when the avoidance of all force is a clear preference, the TASER 10 ’s
enhanced warning display allows officers to warn a suspect of potential deployment,
which can then lead to compliance without risk of injury to an offic e r or citizen.
T A S E R 1 0 I N T H E F I E L D
Officers placed in dangerous situations will find that the TASER 10 is Axon’s most
intuit i ve energy weapon to date , especially when the need for quick de -escalation and
the avoidance of use of force is paramount . An officer can easily lead with the use of
a TASER 10 over other tools and actions and deter violence or force by activating the
warning alert —which consists of a bright pulsing light and loud alert sound that
comes from the energy weapon —without ever launching a single probe. Should a
TASER 10 dep loyment become necessary; simple, easy, and accurate probe placement
provides officers with up to nine opportunities to stop a threat and reduce injurious
or even lethal conflict.
The TASER 10 is robust ly built to operate in a variety of harsh conditions and can
withstand the rigorous demands of modern -day policing. With High -Impact Polymer
housing, the device is proven to endure a five -foot drop, as well as operate in a wide
range of temperatures. Additio nally, the TASER 10 holds an IP67 Ingress Protection
Rating .
A D D I T I O N A L F E A T U R E S A N D B E N E F I T S
0 -FOOT MINIMUM RANGE that offers the opportunity to stop a hostile
encounter within the personal space of both the officer and suspect
45-FOOT MAXIMUM RANGE that creates more time and space to de -escalate
and resolve conflicts
AXON ENTERPRISE, INC. 6
10-SINGLE PROBE CARTRIDGES that provide users with nine opportunities to
achieve an effective connection leading to NMI
INDIVIDUALLY TARGETED PROBES that allow users to place each probe with
precision and accuracy, and create their own spread from close or long
range
ANY PROBE CONNECT TECHNOLOGY that uses a spread optimizer to energize
up to four probes at once
INTEGRATION WITH AXON VR TRAINING to help improve TASER energy weapon
proficiency, use -of-force decision -making, and confidence under stress
DAYLIGHT GREEN LASER that improves accuracy while aiming from varying
distances
A CENTRAL INFORMATION DISPLAY on the back of the energy weapon that
provides information on the status of the weapon, cartridge information,
and the battery ’s status
T A S E R 1 0 A T T H E S T A T I O N
Once back at the statio n , officers can charge the TASER 10, upload device logs to
Axon Evidence, and receive firmware updates by simply inserting the energy weapon
into a docking station . Our docking stations can be installed or set up to fit a variety
of layouts and designated space s .
Once device logs are uploaded from the TASER 10 to Axon Evidence, they can be
easily reviewed by Oakland County MI Sheriff's Office’s Axon Evidence administrators
to monitor the usage, as well as the system status of your entire arsenal of TASER 10
energy weapons.
Additionally, your administrators can use Axon Evidence to assign and reassign
energy weapons, verify firmware versions, access audit trails, and check a variety of
energy weapon statuses.
