ShotSpotter Gunshot Location System Efficacy Study

CSG Analysis, a police officer-owned independent commercial research firm, has published the results of its ShotSpotter Gunshot Location System® (GLS) Efficacy Study. The independent report, endorsed by the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), examines the effectiveness of the ShotSpotter GLS at locating and reporting gunshots, informing investigations, increasing arrests, simplifying the jobs and increasing the safety of police officers and communities. It specifically compares the ShotSpotter GLS to 9-1-1 in terms of the reporting of gunshots, and examines how having data produced by ShotSpotter GLS has affected the work and procedures of patrol and detectives who respond to and investigate gunshot crimes.
