# Set up the Axon Evidence integration in Command

Axon Evidence is a digital evidence management platform designed to securely store, manage, and share critical video and multimedia evidence collected from body cameras, drones, and other devices. It streamlines workflows for law enforcement and public safety agencies, ensuring efficient collaboration and compliance with legal standards.

Through this integration, Verkada customers can seamlessly export video archives from Command to their Axon Evidence agencies to simplify digital evidence gathering and management. Using Command’s powerful investigation tools, such as AI-powered search, users can quickly find the relevant incident and add it as evidence to their Axon Evidence agency.
