Also worth pointing out that Seattle and SF - despite their portrayal in the media - aren’t particularly violent places. Their violent crime rates are less than half the leading cities.

Both Seattle and SF have lower violent crime rates than Salt Lake City.

N.b. property crime is different and is a much less reliable metric. Both cities are ranked higher for property crime, but still below the famously dangerous Salt Lake City.

Axon, on the other hand, does have a decent sized Seattle presence.

Axon seems to be the defacto standard for body cameras but I don't know much about them...

They are formerly known as TASER, after their best known product.

They already had relationships with almost every department in North America so they became an easy choice for bodycams.
