From Insight to Action: Stories That Matter

ShotSpotter nos dio esa posibilidad no solo de llegar a tiempo y encontrar en la escena delincuentes disparando en el momento y poder llevarlos ante la justicia, sino también tan importante como eso nos dio la posibilidad de salvar vidas.

According to Coplink X research, the subject was involved in a vehicle accident the month prior and listed his parents address as where he lived. I then proceeded to his parents address and located the vehicle and engaged in a pursuit. We were then advised by the out of state agency they had probable cause to arrest the driver for felony assault on a police officer 8x. After a lengthy pursuit, the driver was PIT’ed and taken into custody. With out the Coplink X address search, I would not have been able to locate his parents address or the suspect.

This information led officers to find the vehicle and ultimately apprehend the suspect.
