SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AAXN), the global leader in connected law enforcement technologies, will kick off its Axon Academy Bootcamp Tour on October 22. Teaming with Verizon, a leading innovator in public safety communications and one of Axon's wireless coverage providers for US customers, the bootcamp tour will deliver redesigned online and in-person training for law enforcement that includes training on Axon's new TASER 7 conducted energy weapon and education on the Axon Body 3 camera and Axon Records. Other new features of the learning platform include empathy training for special populations, such as the mentally ill, and tools on how to make strategic decisions when in the field.

TASER's Axon brand includes a growing suite of connected products and services from body cameras and digital evidence management tools to mobiles apps.

Each stop on the Axon Academy Bootcamp Tour is a two-day educational event for law enforcement professionals. The first day offers free instructor certification on Axon's new TASER 7 weapon, including an opportunity to fire the weapon and learn how it fully integrates with the Axon network. Attendees can also participate in risk management and virtual reality empathy training. The second day offers additional paid certification courses on Axon's body-worn cameras.
