How SoundThinking’s Data for Good Program Supports Public Health
Upholding community safety is a top priority for city leaders across the country. Through SoundThinking’s Data for Good program, we partner closely with mayors and critical institutions in communities across the country to provide data on where and when shootings occur, so they can focus on areas and individuals most in need.
I know that 80% of my [city’s] ShotSpotter alerts don’t have a corresponding 911 [call]. So for me, it’s in reality a lot less about police response than it is basic lifesaving support…Sometimes no one has been shot, but we know someone will be if we don’t get there in a quicker and quicker fashion.
FAQs

Absolutely. The majority of Americans want to feel safe in their communities and are eager to deploy every tool possible towards addressing the crisis of gun violence and saving lives. For example, in a national study assessing public opinion on acoustic gunshot technology, two-thirds of all Americans backed its use by law enforcement. In major cities, support for acoustic gunshot detection has even been shown to be as high as 90%. Learn more about these surveys and their findings here.
Yes, it can. With SoundThinking’s SafetySmart Platform, communities can not only identify areas experiencing the highest levels of violence and direct life-saving interventions, they can also use that objective data to facilitate violence prevention, health services and economic assistance at the right place and time – all helping to rebuild community trust.
SoundThinking’s suite of products protect a wide range of city types and sizes ranging from urban metropolitan cities such as Chicago and New York City; to medium-sized cities such as Mobile, Tampa, and Oakland; and small cities with populations less than 80,000 such as Forrest City, AR and Perris, CA.
