The Axon RISE awards were created to shine a light on the heroic stories of first responder partners who go above and beyond the call of duty to protect their communities. Each year, three RISE Officer awards are awarded. RISE Officer honors individuals who have saved a life or shown exemplary performance in a high stress situation.
