in America and continually trains a
machine-learning based classifica-
tion system that steadily improves

“ShotSpotter is in a unique po-
sition to track, analyze and share

dent data to help cities across the
country in their efforts to prevent
and deter gun violence,” explained
Ralph Clark, president and CEO of
ShotSpotter.
Additionally, ShotSpotter maintains a
24/7 Incident Review Center staffed
by acoustic experts to quickly analyze
and confirm that acoustic events are
gunfire, append helpful tactical infor-
mation for police such as “multiple
shooters” or “automatic weapons,”
and then immediately send an alert to
local law enforcement.
