Stuebe said the purchases are coming as part of a five-year agreement with AXON Enterprise to spread out the cost of equipment over five years as opposed to purchasing it all at once.

Stuebe said the city is currently in the third year of its agreement with AXON, noting additional purchases will be made in 2027 and 2028.
