Yikes - defending a 4.2-minute response time claim from one un-peer-reviewed UChicago Justice Project analysis. Six other studies say the opposite: 🔹 Piza (Northeastern, peer reviewed): ShotSpotter alerts beat 911 by 93 seconds 🔹 Cook (Duke): 1.2 min faster in Durham 🔹 Mares (SIUE): 1.5 vs 2.6 min in Winston-Salem 🔹 Lawrence (CNA, peer reviewed): 14–25% faster in Denver, 15% in Richmond 🔹 Goldenberg (Cooper Hospital, peer-reviewed clinical journal): 3.7 vs 5.4 min in Camden 🔹 Pittsburgh City Controller (Democratic, elected): 5 min faster than 911 This does not include Brookings corroborating the fact that 80-90% of criminal gunfire goes unreported nor the Univ of Chicago Crime Lab estimating that ShotSpotter directly contributes 85 GSW victims lives being saved per year.

Strong public safety outcomes start with strong partnerships. SoundThinking is grateful to have met with Chief RaShall Brackney and the leadership team at the Jackson Police Department to discuss how technology, data-driven strategies, and community collaboration can help reduce gun violence and enhance public safety. Representing SoundThinking were Vice President Alfred Lewers Jr, Customer Success Director, Kysha Fedd, PhD, and Sales Director Nikki Britto. The conversation highlighted a shared commitment to leveraging innovation and actionable intelligence to support officers, strengthen community trust, and drive safer outcomes for residents. Thank you to Chief Brackney and the Jackson Police Department team for the engaging discussion and dedication to advancing public safety.

"They have taken away a tool (#ShotSpotter) from the Cambridge Police Department that is meant to save lives and protect people," @soundthinking_ CEO @ralphaclark told the Herald.

📍Niterói, Brazil When seconds matter, technology helps investigators move faster. A ShotSpotter alert detected gunfire in real time, helping authorities quickly respond and support a homicide investigation. By combining ShotSpotter data with electronic surveillance systems, investigators were able to identify a suspect vehicle, advance the case, and make an arrest. Real-time alerts. Actionable intelligence. Safer communities.

Gunfire detected. Officers alerted. Armed suspect located. Another real-world example of how ShotSpotter helps law enforcement respond faster when every second counts. In Virginia Beach, a ShotSpotter alert led officers directly to an armed individual following overnight gunfire — helping officers quickly locate the scene and take action. Technology matters when the safety of communities and officers is on the line. 🔗shorenewsnetwork.com/shotspo… #ShotSpotter #PublicSafety #LawEnforcement #RealTimeResponse #CommunitySafety
