Case Study: West Sacramento Police Department achieves big-league real-time public safety with Axon Fusus (Axon)

How West Sacramento Scaled Real-Time Public Safety with Axon Fusus

The West Sacramento Police Department faced a sudden need to scale public safety after Sutter Health Park began hosting the Athletics for 150+ MLB games, bringing thousands of fans, heavier traffic and heightened cross‑jurisdictional risks along the riverfront. To meet that challenge the department turned to Axon and its Axon Fusus platform to gain real‑time situational awareness and quickly expand operational capability.

West Sacramento implemented Axon Fusus in a distributed real‑time model supplemented by a temporary mini command center, linking LPRs, Axon‑integrated body and dash cams, drone video, tip lines and public/private camera feeds and routing evidence into Axon Evidence. The Axon solution enabled faster threat identification and dynamic resource deployment, empowered staff to operate from the field or desks, streamlined evidence collection (saving hours of administrative work) and improved cross‑agency collaboration with Sacramento — helping the department manage large events more safely and accelerate investigations.
