In total, ShotSpotter now covers 12 square miles of Columbus across the four neighborhoods, allowing officers to respond to gunfire before or even without 911 being called, said Columbus Police Deputy Chief Richard Bash. This has enabled officers to locate victims and render aid more quickly, and ultimately helps us make more arrests to get violent offenders off the streets,” Bash said in a prepared statement.
Public Safety Director Ned Pettus Jr. said in his own prepared statement, “ShotSpotter technology has given the community an added weapon in the fight against violent crime.”
