TASER International's products protect life by providing force options such our advanced Electronic Control Devices (ECDs) for use in the law enforcement, medical, military, correctional, professional security, and personal protection markets. TASER devices use proprietary technology to incapacitate dangerous, combative, or high-risk subjects who pose a risk to law enforcement/correctional officers, innocent citizens or themselves. TASER technology protects life and the use of TASER devices dramatically reduces injury rates for law enforcement officers and suspects.

TASER Foundation
To protect and serve – every day over 850,000 law enforcement officers in the United States and Canada work to fulfill this mission. Sometimes these officers make the ultimate sacrifice and are tragically killed in the line of duty. In 2007, 190 officers in the United States and Canada were tragically killed in the line of duty. Over 6,000 law enforcement agencies have lost officers in the line of duty. The average age of an officer lost in the line of duty is only 38 years old.

In response to these tragedies, and as a way to give back to the law enforcement community, TASER International, Inc. established the TASER Foundation for Fallen Officers in November 2004. The initial endowment of $1,000,000 came from TASER International, Inc. and the direct contributions from TASER International employees. To date the TASER Foundation has awarded over $1,900,000 to the families of fallen law enforcement officers in the United States and Canada.

AZCOPS Philosophy
AZCOPS believes that all Arizona law enforcement employees (sworn or civilian) should be provided with fair wages, and benefits, consistent with their professional status, and the important public safety service they provide to their communities.

AZCOPS will work aggressively towards making this goal a reality through dialogue with political leaders at the local, state and national level; and the pursuit of collective bargaining rights for Arizona law enforcement employees

AZCOPS members should be provided with professional legal representation in order to protect their rights. Arizona law enforcement employees are entitled to fairness and due process when dealing with their employers on disciplinary, job-related criminal, and labor issues. AZCOPS provides topnotch attorneys to assist in these matters.

Arizona law enforcement employees should accumulate the greatest possible political power in order to play on a level playing field when dealing with their public employers. Politics is the name of the game in Arizona - that's how law enforcement employees will improve their benefits and working conditions at the local and state level. AZCOPS will be there every step of the way to assist its member associations in the political process.

Established in 1946 as a photographic equipment retailer located in Northern Arizona, Troxell Communications has grown to become the largest privately held audio-visual distributor in the United States. Today, Troxell Communications is based in Phoenix, with 50+ offices nationwide selling to a broad array of end-users. More than 40 years ago, Troxell began marketing to government agencies and educators. After realizing their unique requirements – high quality display and training equipment at very economical prices – and by structuring the organization to run with modest operating costs, Troxell has successfully tapped into a market that competitors have typically been hesitant to serve. Presently, educational and government end-users make up the majority of our customer base; among them are local, state, and federal agencies coast to coast, and public and private learning institutions from pre-school to higher education. Troxell’s client list encompasses many other industries as well…banking and financial services, engineering, healthcare, hospitality and resorts, legal services, printing and publishing, religious and non-profit organizations, and technology.

Whatever your AV needs are, we have the solution. Our current product line represents hundreds of leading manufacturers – Bretford, Califone, Canon, Da-Lite, Elmo, Hitachi, JVC, 3M, Panasonic, Philips, RCA, Sanyo, Sony, Telex plus many, many others – and literally thousands of products:
