Leaked map of ShotSpotter towers in Little Rock. Enormously expensive and not technically accurate either, all concentrated in one area of the city. Check Wired for the article

What does a ShotSpotter sensor look like? It is not cameras, though those often accompany. They're microphones. They might be parabolic dishes but those often are point-to-point comms. Most devices are small and flat. ShotSpotter partnered with Israeli Airobtics to deploy drones.

NEW: The nine-month, $8.6 million contract extension that Mayor Johnson frantically hammered out with ShotSpotter to give CPD time to transition away from the gunshot detection technology just might be illegal, sources have told the Sun-Times. trib.al/OkPXawL
In St. Louis, over a decade of gunshot detection data amounting to 29k alerts led to only *13* arrests directly tied to a gunshot alert. “High-volume agencies will likely experience substantial increases in their call volumes with remarkably little to show for it…”

Not only is Detroit bound by contract to not release the location of ShotSpotter sensors, the company is not required to provide locations to police and "will challenge any subpoenas for this location any data." Well, @WIRED found them anyway. wired.com/story/shotspot…
The controversial surveillance that Oklahoma doesn't use.... YET. Its imperative to our privacy rights that our state NOT adopt this spy tech! wired.com/story/shotspot…
Glad the wired story is bringing this into focus but it's been known that shotspotter coverage just so happens to be where the poor people of color are and isnt anywhere else

That's quite a cluster of ShotSpotter microphones in North Fair Oaks (the unincorporated part of San Mateo County bounded by Redwood City, Menlo Park, and Atherton - created by the rejection of early Athertonians. Good read: smcgov.org/district-4-war… )

NYC map of ShotSpotter microphone locations. "SoundThinking equipment has been installed at more than a thousand elementary and high schools; they are perched atop dozens of billboards, scores of hospitals, and within more than a hundred public housing complexes."

Despite flooding the south & west sides of Chicago with gun detection microphones, ShotSpotter does not improve public safety. A recent study of Chicago's use of ShotSpotter found no decrease in gun violence, no fewer fatalities & no boost in arrests. peoplesfabric.com/blog/study-sho…

Here's a case where ShotSpotter worked. A Chicago cop, startled by a cat, accidentally fired his weapon. The officer failed to notify OEMC he'd fired his gun, but ShotSpotter detected it, forcing the cop to own up to it.
"In fact, when controlling for crime rates before GDT was implemented, population density, demographics, income, CCTV presence, and other factors, the study found fatal shootings actually increased through several phases of Chicago’s [ShotSpotter] rollout."

Statement from Mayor Brandon Johnson on the end of Chicago’s usage of a gunshot detection technology that came under fire by activists says its last day will be Sept. 22, 2024. Meanwhile, city will “assess tools and programs that effectively increase both safety and trust.”
Organizing works! After years of community pressure, the City of Chicago has committed to ending its use of ShotSpotter in September 2024. Thank you to all the coalition partners, community members, the Mayor, and every person who fought for this #StopShotSpotter
NEW: An internal email shows that after Brandon Johnson’s election, ShotSpotter planned a “multi-prong approach” to “shore up...support” for renewing the contract. Last fall, ShotSpotter executives lobbied the mayor's office ahead of the budget vote. southsideweekly.com/shotspotter-lo…

late last month faulty ShotSpotter tech alerted officers to possible gunshots and Chicago PD arriving heard a bang and shot at an unarmed man. this time the police missed. in other cases innocent people have been shot --some killed. many other innocent people have been harassed.

ShotSpotter/SoundThinking profit from gun violence. They have no incentive to actually prevent/reduce gun violence (the tech literally can’t do that by design). they’re making *millions* off it. Theyll say anything to try to keep this harmful contract in Chicago #StopShotSpotter
NEW: ShotSpotter has monitored areas around electronic billboards in Jefferson Park, which has some of the lowest gun violence in the city, at the request of JCDecaux. My latest with Max Blaisdell for @SouthSideWeekly southsideweekly.com/shotspotter-so…

Great piece. CPD superintendent Snelling’s defense of shotspotter is really revealing here. He says you can’t evaluate SS unless you see it up close. The problem is Chicagoans can't see SS up close because the mics are shotspotter’s intellectual property.
