Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

As of October 1, 2025, Prepared has officially joined forces with Axon—a major milestone for both our teams and the public safety community. United by a shared mission to Protect Life, Axon and Prepared are ushering in a new era of AI-powered emergency communications. Together, we’re closing the gap between the first call for help and resolution in the field—empowering responders with the clarity they need when every second counts. 911 is the backbone of public safety in America. But for too long, the professionals answering our calls have been let down by outdated technology. Prepared exists to change that. Since launching in 2021, we’ve used cutting-edge AI to help streamline millions of emergency calls across 49 states—supporting over 90 million people and transforming what's possible in crisis response. At Prepared, you’re not just joining a team—you’re helping shape the future of emergency services and building a safer, more connected world.
