It’s my opinion the ShotSpotter system is an invaluable tool for our police department that helps them respond to the precise location where shots have been fired in the shortest possible time.

Felix Hunziker
Former Richmond Police Commissioner

Shotspotter has played a significant role in improving our response efficiency, our ability to detect and apprehend perpetrators, and in life-saving because we are able to reach the critically injured must faster. We have also noticed continuing declines in the number of gunfire incidents in Richmond.
