The chain of custody is critical for making arrests and earning convictions. That's why security cameras, alarm systems and video doorbells play an important role, but are not enough. Valuables must be tagged, serial numbers recorded, and warning signs posted. #MyPropertyID

I'm going to try to find the time to write about how we in the NYPD used gunshot detection not only to catch criminals, but to prevent people from being victimized. But for now I just want to write about this particular article. I agree with Anthony Tasso. There are so many things wrong with the analysis of the efficacy of SoundThinking (formerly ShotSpotter) in this article. I too was skeptical of the system prior to the analysis we did in the NYPD. The analysis listed in this article fails basic data analysis standards. You can't judge how well the system works by how this article defines "confirmed" (found evidence) shootings. There's a good chance that there is no evidence or the evidence is hard/was not found. In this type of analysis you're trying to prove a shooting incident occurred when you are not positive it occurred. You'll never know the real answer. The best way we found to test the efficacy of the system were actual confirmed shootings/shots fired (witness confirms, evidence found, victim) where the system should have alerted. Here we are starting with a known, "we are 100% sure this many shootings should have been captured by the system, of those incidents how many were captured by the system?" In this method you are using a real number of "should have captured" as the baseline and comparing it to how many of those incidents it did capture. A true accounting of the accuracy. Then you set the agency benchmark, the key performance indicator. "The system has to alert us to more than Y% of these known confirmed incidents or else it fails." As an addition, (stealing a line from Anthony Tasso here) with gunfire detection tech "hearing is believing." In the NYPD every officer has a Department phone, on that phone is a situational awareness app (which I designed btw) that alerts them to all the incidents (911, ShotSpotter, etc) in their selected area. Because we were all skeptics, we included a file of the suspected gunfire with the ShotSpotter alert. The file is 1 or more 7 second audio clips of the sound that triggered the alert (along with a history of the area, department data, etc). The Officer responding can listen to the sound that triggered the event in near real time (maybe a minute or two delayed) to determine if they believe it's gunfire or not. Additionally, there is a dedicated person in Headquarters, not to mention the Desk Officer and many people in the each precinct/boro, listening as well and radoing the Officers in the field if they believe it's legitimate. These alerts do not waste Officers time. I've personally listened to A LOT of these files (probably thousands), and you can tell pretty much instantly if it's gunfire or not. We gave the Officer the ability, while responding to the alert, to listen and decide if it's gunfire or not, and change their response and tactics accordingly. These alerts do not waste Officers time.

🚨 ARREST MADE 🚨 In this compelling video, watch as a suspicious individual on a bike scouts a parking lot at night. He targets a parked car, breaks in, and the camera captures every moment as he quickly places stolen items into his bag. 🚨 Live remote agents attempt to warn him off with lights, 2-way sirens and verbal warnings to leave the area. He ignores the remote agent and attempts to make his escape. 👮 A police officer comes back to the car to return the stolen bike pump to its rightful owner, having successfully apprehended the thief. 💪 This powerful demonstration showcases how advanced surveillance systems and real-time monitoring effectively deter and prevent criminal activities, ensuring the safety and security of your belongings.

I find this to be a bit misleading, although I can understand how people outside of the law enforcement community can arrive at this conclusion. Many gunshot detection activations simply cannot be verified. Maybe a revolver was used. Maybe the shooter picked up the brass. Maybe the shells were kicked down a sewer or run over by a passing vehicle. Maybe the casing landed in heavy brush. Even with best efforts and intentions, evidence of gunfire often goes undiscovered. The fact is, that there is a large “gray” area between gunfire detections that can be confirmed, and confirmed gunfire incidents that weren’t detected by the detection system. Assigning that unknown “gray” area to either success rates or failure rates is a mistake. Better data needs to be collected and analyzed to determine the true ratio between founded and unfounded detections. Gunshot detection isn’t perfect. There are many false positives and also a good number of false negatives. But there are also many successful cases where police are notified of founded gunfire that wouldn’t have otherwise been reported. And there are also circumstances where police are able to get to a scene quicker because of the automated gunshot detection notifications, ensuring an apprehension of a suspect and removal of an illegal firearm from the street. I wasn’t always a believer. But I have seen first hand enough successful outcomes to change my mind and acknowledge the value of gunshot detection. #lawenforcement #technology #ai #gunshotdetection https://lnkd.in/d43pYeqg
