The Maldives Police Service (MPS) has taken a monumental step forward in the realm of less-lethal force with the introduction of the TASER 7. This cutting-edge technology, developed by Axon, represents the most extensively studied less-lethal use of force available today. TASER 7 equips officers with a powerful tool to confidently de-escalate high-pressure situations, enhancing public safety and law enforcement.
One of the most remarkable features of the TASER 7 is its status as Axon’s first truly connected energy device, offering seamless wireless device management, self-reporting capabilities, and a comprehensive overview of the device’s health and performance, not only for individual units but for the entire fleet. This groundbreaking technology heralds the future of law enforcement equipment, allowing officers to stay ahead of the curve.
The Commissioner of Police, Mohamed Hameed, also emphasized the meticulous and comprehensive approach taken in deploying the TASER 7. He noted that the TASER 7 was being rolled out after several months of pilot testing and a thorough review of policy and user guidelines. He further emphasized the comprehensive trainings that the Police Officers have undergone and that the highest level of safeguards is in place to ensure a successful rollout.
This pioneering technology implementation follows the Maldives Police Service’s trailblazing adoption of the Axon Body 3 cameras in 2022, accompanied by Axon’s situational awareness software, Axon Respond+. These measures collectively demonstrate MPS’s unwavering dedication to staying at the forefront of law enforcement technology to protect and serve their community effectively.
The introduction of TASER 7 to the Maldives marks a significant milestone in enhancing the safety of both the community and law enforcement officers. With this state-of-the-art equipment at their disposal, the MPS is poised to set new standards in ensuring public safety and promoting de-escalation in critical situations. As law enforcement agencies continue to embrace cutting-edge technology, the Maldives Police Service leads the way, setting an example for effective community protection.
With the introduction of the TASER 7 and Axon Bodyworn Cameras, Zetta Enterprises remains steadfast in its mission to contribute to the betterment and safety of the Maldivian community.
