BUSINESS WIRE: MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ShotSpotter, Inc., the world leader in gunshot detection and location systems, today announced that 57 gunshot victims have survived life-threatening wounds this year thanks to the timely aid of first responders relying on accurate incident location data provided by ShotSpotter’s GLS technology. ShotSpotter’s GLS accurately detects and locates gunshot incidents within seconds and provides information to dispatchers and first responders in real time, increasing the likelihood of saving lives.
ShotSpotter’s data on the number of lives saved in the first half of 2009 represents a 138 percent increase from the first half 2008, when 24 victims were aided. The data is based on information from the 45 cities and counties across the United States employing ShotSpotter’s GLS technology over a six month period. In some cases, ShotSpotter’s GLS data is the only life-saving information first responders receive, and without it, many of these victims would not have survived.
