ShotSpotter is known for their acoustic gunshot technology, which takes"pops, booms and bangs," from sensors posted around a neighborhood or city and triangulates timestamps, and pushes an alert out to police departments within 45 seconds of the trigger being pulled exactly where the shooting took place, Clark explained.New York Police Department officers investigate following a shooting in Queens, N.Y, Aug. 1, 2021.
"Kids who have been shot, their body is in such shock there's just such fear," Schauss explained."They're afraid to do anything. Some of the kids are catatonic, meaning they have a hard time speaking they have they have a hard time just doing daily tasks. They're reliving that moment and their body is still in that trauma."
Clark said the technology is useful even if police do not make an arrest on the day the shooting occurred. “High-tech tools can create a false justification for the broken status quo of policing and can end up exacerbating existing racial disparities," Jonathan Manes, an attorney with the MacArthur Justice Center at Northwestern University Pritzker School of LawManes studied the ShotSpotter technology and found that 89% turned up no gun-related crime and 86% led to no report of any crime at all.
ShotSpotter is not a one-size-fits-all approach to curbing gun violence, Clark explained, saying that the technology is another tool in their tool belt.
