Council Hears Proposal for Axon VR Taser Simulator
Trusted by teams at
Description
Police Chief Matt Gannon briefed the council on Axon’s new VR taser simulator, which would cost about $4,650 upfront but reduce future-year contract costs by roughly $4,700 and avoid inflationary increases in years three through eight. The potential add-on to the city’s existing Axon contract is expected to lower training expenses by reducing live cartridge use.
