Save Lives and Find Critical Evidence with Proven Gunshot Detection

After almost 30 years in law enforcement, I’ve yet to find a more profound and proven way to increase community/police relations than ShotSpotter.

Ultimately, ShotSpotter gunfire data enables us to save lives by rendering aid to victims immediately, improve evidence collection, prosecution and overall police effectiveness.

[The ShotSpotter] technology is needed and necessary if we are to make safety a priority in our communities and in our city.

We can't have a violent crime violence reduction strategy if we don't know about 80% of the gunfire...To me 2 lives saved, 47 guns recovered and a police response to 80% more of the crime is pretty exceptional.

As we continue working with the community to build a safer, stronger DC, ShotSpotter helps us better focus and deploy resources to save lives and get guns off our streets.

The ShotSpotter technology targets [gun] violence, quickly puts our officers where they’re needed, and helps us identify shooters, while building trust and restoring peace in the challenged communities we serve.

[ShotSpotter] is saving us time, making us more efficient and allowing us to solve crimes, and to link crimes … the linking of the shell casings allows us to see trends, see pictures and to realize if we’re having a spike in a certain group, and be able to address those needs better.

ShotSpotter is an always present and unbiased source of information for us. We don’t have to rely on people to call 9-1-1. It’s always listening.

To stop gun violence, we need to know where it’s occurring and ShotSpotter has detected hundreds of shootings that would have otherwise gone unreported. Our expansion of ShotSpotter is helping us reduce crime and make our neighborhoods safer.

ShotSpotter has been a game changer here in Chicago. We are correlating more shootings based on the evidence collected from the exact location.

ShotSpotter is an important forensic tool that is more reliable than witnesses. My office relies on it to provide hard evidence on which gun fired first and from what precise location to help prosecute criminals.

I’m without 15 officers is a huge amount for Salinas. I have to use technology to augment what we do, to keep my community safe. I need this technology to keep us safe.

Everything we do in our lives requires technology. This ShotSpotter technology will help make Cleveland a safer city.

Since the city first adopted the ShotSpotter program in 2014, the homicide rate has plummeted by 35%. Gunshot incidents as an activity has been reduced by about 50% in the same period of time.

We’re seeing a 40% reduction in gun violence in areas we’re using ShotSpotter. We’re proud to be a ShotSpotter city.

[ShotSpotter] is like the intelligence network for how we respond to crime, how we solve crime… I think more importantly, this is one of our major linchpins for how we prevent crime.

We are a smaller city, but are no less susceptible to the ravages of gun violence in our community...In just the first three months we have already seen very impressive results.

Giving agencies of our size access to this important tool is critical for increasing the effectiveness of the investigations of shots fired calls and makes a statement that our city is taking proactive steps to reduce gun violence.
