NYPD to Deploy Gun-Shot Detectors
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner William J. Bratton yesterday announced the deployment of new gunshot detection technology that will decrease officer response times to gunshot incidents and enhance community and public safety. NYPD will pilot the ‘ShotSpotter’ system in five zones of approximately three square miles each located within various precincts in the Bronx and Brooklyn. The first pilot area to go operational on Monday, March 16, 2015 will be in the Bronx.
