**Account Manager - Northern Brasil**
**Our mission is to protect life.**
We're out to make the world a safer place by solving big problems and taking on some of the biggest public safety challenges of our time. From our company's inception building the TASER to a full suite of hardware and software solutions, we are focused on providing police and other public safety agencies with technology solutions to best service our communities.
The Axon Network is purpose built to support accountability and transparency for both the police and the communities they serve. In the next few years, we're going to eliminate the burden of paperwork in policing, so officers can increase the time they spend building relationships and serving in their communities. We're implementing new technologies to help the police collect, manage and share information so our justice system can get to the truth faster. And we won't stop innovating the TASER platform until the bullet is rendered obsolete.
It's a big mission, but it's one we'll pursue relentlessly every single day.
