In the short time that ShotSpotter has been in place, Cleveland Police Officers have been able to save the lives of at least six gunshot victims. I will continue to be a supporter of technology that saves lives and makes my community safer.

ShotSpotter technology is assisting the Cleveland Division of 
Police in providing for the safety of our community through smarter, safer, and more effective policing. We are saving lives, building trust, and engaging our community thanks to the practices we are putting into place with Shotspotter.
