Dispatchers and call-takers are asked to do it all: listen, type, translate, assess and respond in seconds.

On the latest episode of Boldly Go, hosted by @AxonRick @MikeWagers and featuring Michael Chime, CEO of Prepared, they discuss the impact Axon 911 is having on making operations more intelligent from call to closure.

AI-powered tools can help ease that load by handling the details in the background so they can stay focused on the person on the other end of the line.

Boldly Go Episode 25 is LIVE!

This is the origin story of TASER — and how it eventually became @axon_enterprise. And it is wild.

Two brothers who loved to fight, signing incorporation papers at their parent's kitchen table.

Near-death business moments around every corner. Threats of arrest. Fleeing countries. And more than a few moments where the whole thing could have fallen apart.

The level of persistence is honestly hard to believe.

Also, will a TASER stop a bull 🐂? Or maybe the more important question: what do you do when the bull gets back up?

Tune in to find out.

@thomaschattwill How about just giving a 72-year-old credit for still getting after it lifting weights.

[Mike @MikeWagers]

He was a teenage dispatcher when Columbine happened.

He was a sergeant who responded to the Aurora theater shooting.

And as chief, his agency faced a terrorist attack.

Those experiences have shaped how he leads today.

Hear @boulderpolice Chief Stephen Redfearn on the latest episode of the The Briefing Room.

Who do you call when a bot attacks?

Last week, an engineer woke up to find an AI agent bullying him because he rejected its code. Sounds like a niche tech story—it isn’t.

We are effectively adding millions of new digital, intelligent "citizens" to our world, yet we have no framework to ensure they play by the rules or are held accountable.

In the physical world, if there is an emergency, you call 911. In this "brave new world" who do you call when a bot commits a crime?
