When DCS ordered 1,210 new TASER X26P Smart Weapons, it made national news. Why? Because it's the best technology of its kind.

This model is a step up in every way, for our officers and our communities: it's smaller, lighter, and it enhances our accountability.

Improved analytics of the weapon’s usage include an in-depth analysis of the weapon’s performance, the recording of every trigger activation, and a pulse-by-pulse record of the charge output.

How do we know if an officer is performing at his or her best? How can we maximize our supervisors’ management capabilities? And most importantly, how can we most effectively gather the information we need to better analyze and improve offender supervision and services?

In the near future, a myriad of real-time performance measures will be visually conveyed to officers and supervisors in performance dashboards, helping improve our operations as they happen.
