NYC Comptroller Audit Finds 87% False Alarms in NYPD's $22M SoundThinking ShotSpotter System
Jun 20, 2024, 02:55 PM
A recent audit by the New York City Comptroller has revealed that the NYPD's ShotSpotter system, a surveillance technology designed to alert police of shootings, gives false alarms 87% of the time. The audit, which analyzed eight months of data, found that the system often sends officers to locations where no shooting has occurred. The technology, developed by SoundThinking, is valued at $22 million. The Comptroller's office criticized the NYPD for wasting time and resources on a system that is largely ineffective. The audit was reported by FolaAk.
