Policing Matters podcast host and deputy chief Jim Dudley (ret.) paid a visit to Axon Week 2025 to get an exclusive look at some of the revolutionary advancements in public safety technology and the thought leaders and technology experts making them happen.
In this special episode, sponsored by Axon, Dudley sits down with Jeff Kunins, chief product officer and chief technology officer of Axon, to discuss Axon’s AI-driven innovations, real-time tools, ethical design and support for modernizing public safety technology ecosystems.
Tune in to discover:
- How Axon’s connected ecosystem – including body cameras, TASER energy weapons, real-time crime centers and drones – is making public safety workflows more efficient and integrated than ever.
- Ways Axon supports agencies in building or enhancing real-time crime centers (RTCCs), including advisory services, templates and partnerships, while respecting agency autonomy in policy decisions.
- Why AI-powered tools like Draft One and real-time translation are designed to assist – not replace – officers, with a strong focus on ethical oversight and human involvement.
- How innovations like Policy Chat provide officers with instant, policy-grounded guidance in the field, offering a more reliable alternative to informal peer advice in high-stakes situations.
