GE and the Police Association to develop smart phones capable of measuring gunfire

According to foreign media reports, General Electric (GE) smart city project will take a tougher stance on the occurrence of gun violence. 27, 2009, ShotSpotter CEO Ralph at the International Association of Chiefs of police announced a cooperation plan with GE Clark. In the future, GE will be deployed in its smart city street lamps developed by the ShotSpotter detector. This is the first major GE smart city project to join the law enforcement function, in the past, the project is more focused on environmental protection and logistical support.

The core of cooperation will be shared hardware. Among them, the GE has created a powerful smart Street processor, it can fully support the operation of a ShotSpotter device. So for the two companies, in order to make the street with gunfire detection function, the key is the need for a software.

Although some cities now have ShotSpotter deployments, they can cover a very limited range - usually only a few square miles. But if you choose to use GE smart street lights, then you can cover the whole city with the lowest cost. "Now, we have the ability to cover the whole city, and do not need to spend the cost of covering the whole city. Clark told the media.

GE and ShotSpotter hope to use this street light system to help law enforcement agencies to get the fastest speed of the exact location of the shooting. Once the lights are detected and positioned to the location of the shot, it will send information to the police, law enforcement and police intelligence center. It is reported that ShotShotter can accurately detect the location of the shot, the number of shots and shootings.

But with most of the GE smart city technology, ShotShotter street lamp system in the actual application of the effect is difficult to estimate.
