Since the Pueblo Police Department (PPD) implemented ShotSpotter acoustic gunshot detection technology in February 2024, the city has seen significant operational and community safety gains. ShotSpotter alerts have consistently enabled a faster, more proactive response to gunfire incidents — often before any 9-1-1 call comes in — helping officers locate shooters, assist victims, and recover critical evidence across Pueblo.

The City of Pueblo has more than doubled its investment in ShotSpotter in 2025, with the technology now covering 7 square smiles of the city.
When you think about the amount of calls we didn’t receive, there were lots of individuals preying on our citizens and our community that we would have never caught. And this technology has helped us do that.
