ShotSpotter

ShotSpotter is a gunshot detection system that uses an array of sensitive microphones installed in neighborhoods to identify the sound signature of gunfire. When a potential gunshot occurs, the system quickly analyzes the audio to confirm if it’s a firearm discharge and pinpoints the exact location within seconds. Law enforcement agencies use this real-time information to respond more swiftly and accurately, improving safety and response times. ShotSpotter enhances public safety by providing precise incident data, enabling quicker investigations and potentially deterring gun violence through increased awareness and rapid response.
