Richland County Sheriff's Department and Rock Hill Police Department will be First Agencies to Deploy Axon's Signal Sidearm Technology

Richland County Sheriff's Department (RCSD) in South Carolina is the first to commit to a full deployment of Signal Sidearm with an intent to roll out 300 units by Q4 2017. The order is part of a three-phase rollout for RCSD that began with body-worn cameras and Axon Fleet in-car camera technology. Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office, MI intends to deploy 197 units while Rock Hill Police Department, SC will roll out a minimum of 50 units by the year's end.

Axon Signal Sidearm attaches to most sidearm holsters and wirelessly alerts nearby Axon cameras to begin recording when officers draw their weapons.

"Signal Sidearm directly supports our department's mission of community engagement through transparency and officer safety," says Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott. "Our agency has already deployed Axon body cameras and is pursuing Axon Fleet cameras in patrol cars. Signal Sidearm is yet another technology that will ensure interactions with the community are documented should a deputy have to deploy a firearm in a high-stress situation."

Axon will showcase Signal Sidearm at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Philadelphia on October 22-23, at Booth Number 2825. In addition to Signal Sidearm, attendees will be offered the chance to demo new products Axon Citizen and Axon Records as well as existing technology, including Evidence.com, body-worn cameras, TASER conducted electrical weapons and more.
