Case Study: Merced County Sheriff's Office achieves faster evidence gathering and improved safety with Axon Fleet 2

Merced County Sheriff’s Office - Customer Case Study

The Merced County Sheriff’s Office partnered with Axon to modernize its patrol technology and improve officer safety, transparency, and evidence management. Facing the need to centralize in‑car video, streamline sharing with partner agencies and prosecutors, and keep deputies on the cutting edge, the agency selected Axon Fleet 2 to integrate vehicle cameras with its existing Axon Body cameras and Axon Evidence cloud.

Axon deployed Fleet 2 across 30 vehicles, centralizing in‑car video into the Axon network and enabling instant review on mobile data computers and rapid sharing with partners. Within a week the system helped stop narcotics from entering the jail and prevented a wasted response to a fabricated shooting, demonstrating immediate time and resource savings, improved transparency, and reduced liability — outcomes Merced County attributes directly to Axon.
