Axon Community is the application WRPS officers use within our DEMS platform to send electronic invitations to witnesses to upload photographic or video evidence into our secure storage cloud, without confiscating phones/devices or setting appointments to gather hard copies of these files.  This reduces the need for the use of DVD’s, USB’s, or any other transportable method that ultimately increases the risk of a privacy breach through lost media or storage of personal information in multiple locations.

Axon Public Safety Canada manages our DEMS platform through a Canadian cloud-based system. The system has established organizational-wide controls to ensure secure storage, transfer and disposal of all digital records.  These controls govern any wrongful access, attempts to defeat security measures, and inappropriate or personal use of this infrastructure.

We continue our commitment to providing the community with responsive policing services that foster a relationship of trust and transparency.

Any digital files submitted for an investigation but not used as evidence to support a prosecution are retained for a 30-month period.  This takes into consideration the current civil limitation period of 24 months plus the time to serve a claim of 6 months.

If the files submitted are required as evidence in a court proceeding, they will be retained in accordance with existing evidence retention periods.
