Supported By Trauma Surgeons and Hospitals
ShotSpotter is part of our comprehensive approach for dealing with firearm violence...Greenville has seen a 29% reduction in GSW victims in the deployment area. Incredible injury prevention success in this national epidemic of gunshot death.
ShotSpotter has developed technology that allows the trauma patient who has been shot to get to me faster, so I have a greater chance of saving their lives.
ShotSpotter provides significant community benefit by impacting police response and optimizing care coordination from location of gun shot wound victim to the trauma center. We have been able to deploy resources quickly based on the alerts alone.
Clinical Research Proves ShotSpotter Saves Critical Minutes
ShotSpotter’s system of sensors, algorithms and artificial intelligence detects, locates and alerts police to gunfire in less than 60 seconds. Studies have shown savings in time and interventions in EMS, police arrival and GSW victim transport time from field to hospital. 3
