ShotSpotter, Inc. announced it has opened a Washington D.C. satellite office, which includes an Incident Review Center (IRC) that monitors gunfire for law enforcement customers across the U.S., Caribbean and South Africa. The announcement was made as part of an event held now, hosted by ShotSpotter President and CEO Ralph A. Clark with special guest speaker Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser. ShotSpotter will now have IRC centers located on both coasts, Washington, D.C. and at its headquarters in Silicon Valley, providing added capacity and important resiliency. Staffed with highly trained acoustic experts, the center reviews likely gunfire detected and classified by an artificial intelligence-driven system. These reviewers then analyze the sounds and waveforms and either send an alert notification to local law enforcement to generate a police response or dismiss it. The entire transaction from initial gunfire to alert takes less than 60 seconds.
