Case Study: Albuquerque Police Department achieves 47% decrease in gunshot detections with SoundThinking ShotSpotter

Albuquerque Police Department cuts gunshot detections 47% with SoundThinking

The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) faced a challenge with high levels of gun violence in a Southeast neighborhood. To proactively address this issue, they partnered with SoundThinking and utilized its ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology as part of a new pilot initiative.

SoundThinking's solution enabled the APD to implement the S.H.O.T. program, which involved sending targeted letters to residents, posting community signs, and conducting follow-up investigative work. The program led to a 47% decrease in gunshot detections in the targeted neighborhood. Furthermore, SoundThinking's technology fostered stronger community relations, leading to increased collaboration and information sharing from residents across the city.
