Case Study: Winslow PD cuts evidence-collection time from days to minutes with Axon Citizen (Axon)

Winslow PD - Customer Case Study

Winslow PD, a 20-officer department serving Winslow, AZ, faced a days-long, resource-intensive process for collecting photos and videos from citizens and businesses. To address this, Winslow PD adopted Axon solutions — including Axon Community Request, Axon Community Request+, Axon Citizen/Axon Capture and Evidence.com — to streamline public evidence submission and reduce time spent away from patrol duties.

Axon implemented public submission portals and invite-based sharing so witnesses and retailers could upload video and photos directly into Evidence.com. The change turned evidence collection from days into hours, saved officers “hours — days,” produced six citizen video submissions after a mobile-home-park fire, and allowed immediate transfer of a bystander’s iPhone video during an officer-involved shooting instead of seizing the device. Axon’s tools measurably improved efficiency and officer and citizen experience.
