In addition, COTAK provides advanced features that can be customized to meet the specific needs of fire, law enforcement, search and rescue, and other public safety agencies.

Axon Body Camera Location Integration Now Available
COTAK now has the ability to display the near real-time locations of Axon body cameras! This integration allows COTAK users on your agency’s channel(s) to see the location and the callsign associated with the camera on the map in any of the TAK apps. This integration does not provide live video from the camera, and is configurable to include the location of your officers whenever their camera is turned on, or to only include the location when the camera has been set in recording mode.
Like all COTAK integrations, Axon is offered free-of-charge to COTAK member agencies, though you will need to provide us with a key to your existing Axon account for our staff to set up the integration. Your agency administrator for Axon may follow the directions here to pull the needed information to set up the integration, which they can provide to the COTAK support team by filing a ticket to request the integration at cotak.gov/support.
