Birmingham expands ShotSpotter gun detection to 20 sq mi, aiming to cut gun violence.
Birmingham City Council approved a $3 million, three-year contract with SoundThinking to continue using ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology, expanding coverage to about 20 square miles.
The system alerts police within seconds of detecting gunfire, enabling responses to 30-40% of incidents without 911 calls.
Police Chief Michael Pickett plans to integrate cameras and drones with the system to monitor scenes and track suspects.
The city has seen a 55% drop in murders but a slight 1.2% rise in overall violent crime.
The investment is part of Birmingham’s strategy to reduce gun violence and improve public safety.
