State Police Launch Real-Time Translation by Axon
Date Posted: Thursday, November 12th, 2026
The Delaware State Police is excited to announce the launch of Axon’s Real-Time Translation, a feature built into body-worn cameras to help troopers communicate with community members who speak different languages.
Launched earlier this week, the technology will help troopers overcome communication barriers with real-time, two-way audio translation in more than 50 languages. It will support everyday interactions, including traffic stops, calls for service, and community engagement.
“Effective communication builds trust between law enforcement and the communities we serve,” said Colonel William D. Crotty, Superintendent of the Delaware State Police. “Everyone deserves to be heard and understood, and this technology helps ensure language is not a barrier to the service and protection they receive.”
The Delaware State Police remains committed to enhancing the quality of life for all Delaware residents and visitors, and this technology is one of many steps toward achieving that mission.
