But we saved everything 🙂.
The Boston Police Department relies on ShotSpotter technology provided by SoundThinking to detect and respond to gunfire incidents in real time.
In a recent event in Roxbury, officers received immediate alerts without any 911 call, allowing them to quickly locate a suspected gunman and secure critical evidence at the scene. This deployment highlights a shift towards proactive policing methods using advanced sensor and alert systems.
SoundThinking recently released an update to ShotSpotter InSight aimed at boosting the system’s effectiveness in field operations, according to a company statement (link). In a separate incident in Washington D.C., ShotSpotter alerts enabled local police to arrest an armed suspect following rapid notification of gunfire (link). Both examples reflect ongoing adoption of real-time detection technology.
