ShotSpotter Acoustic Surveillance System Leads to Violent Crime Reductions, Convictions


       

The ShotSpotter Gunshot Location SystemŽ (GLS) captures critical forensic evidence that assists the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office in convicting two gang members of murder.

Last year, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department were faced with the challenge of successfully prosecuting two known gang members for the murder of a rival gang member. As a result of the ShotSpotter GLS detecting, locating, and alerting deputies to the precise location of the crime, crucial physical evidence was seized, including shell casings. In addition, ShotSpotter forensic data, analysis and expert witness testimony provided by the ShotSpotter GLS and the company's expert personnel provided circumstantial evidence essential to proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants were guilty of murder in the first-degree.

To law enforcement personnel working to alleviate violence on the streets of South Los Angeles, the ShotSpotter GLS has repeatedly proven itself to be a mission-essential tool. The result is a reduction in gun violence and improved community and law officer safety while the police department and judicial organization achieve greater effectiveness with available resources.
