Triangulation= Gunshot detection

[Mgderf]

I saw a question, I believe it was here, asking about whether or not LE had the technology to detect gunshots remotely.

Gunshot detection. [VIDEO]

I knew the technology existed. I didn't know IBM was a part of it.

Cincinnati has this in their downtown area. Of course, no one shows up after they figure out the gunshots came from Over the Rhine.

The Phoenix metro area and some of the surrounding cities have this set up and running. They say they can get within 3 square feet of where the gun went off. Phoenix has to many people shooting in the air on new years eve. Sounds like a war zone in some areas.

Springfield, MA cops said they have it and has not prevented any crime but has caught a lot of criminals. It will even tell the speed of the car that does a drive by.

Watched the vid, very cool. Scary though with the anti gun folks trying to take away our freedoms, this could be used in the other direction. My dad is an office, I will ask him and see if Indy has it. Pretty usefull in the example used in the vid.

 

[Denny347]

We do not have it yet. I think it is the works.

 

[gund]

Interesting technology. Pretty cool.

They use a system called Shot Spotter right here in Gary. It is also being used by our military over sees.

We have used a version of this in the Army for several years. We also have a vehicle mounted version....

 

[redneckmedic]

Wow that is really cool. We should get it and put it on 38th street.... Yes the entire street

 

[alwalker84]

I believe I recently heard that Indy abandoned the effort to get these in the city. Cost maybe...

 

[gund]

Next time when I commit a firearm crime I'm going to need some decoys around the city spraying shots hehe.

 

[truegrit]

Chicago also uses it with their police camera's

East and West!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was talking to a buddy of mine in the army about this, he is a Humvee gunny that guards supply convoys as they move around Iraq they use a sensor about the size of a shoe box with a couple dozen microphones sticking out. It interfaces wirelessly with all the other gunners and drivers in the convoy so they can relay the direction, distance, elevation, and weapon type to everybody in the convoy as soon as the first shot is fired.

I think its great and I'd like to see that stuff up in the city. Anything that makes the response of LEOs swifter, more accurate, and safer is great in my book.

Its better than putting cameras all over the damn place.

i have an anut & uncle that used to be in army told me about this a couple years ago. the fact that it can tell you what caliber is awesome i think.

in that video they lady says they got a big shot fired. and it said it cam from a roof top. and when they found the guy, He was disassembling his weapon. gang bangers on the streets of richmond california, with a break down sniper rifle.( i say gangbangers because a pro would know about this tech and plan accourdingly)

This is cool technology. I was just talking with my neighbor the other day about how frequently i hear shots on the far north side of Indy. Would like to know where they are coming from and why.

 

[boozoo]

It wasn't me... I already killed all those damnable raccoons that were tearing into my roof. ;-)

 

[SNAFU-M1A]

We do not have it yet. I think it is the works.

Actually I think we did but it's like everything else on this department. Nobody knows how to set it up, or it's already out of date, or it's sitting in a closet somewhere, or it cost too much to use, or any other number of things that this half assed, screwed up dept does wrong.

 

[Boilers]

Wow that is really cool. We should get it and put it on 38th street.... Yes the entire street

It would not take much time to PARODY that video by editing in "Another shot on 38th st..."

"Another shot on 38th st..."

about every 30 seconds.
