"Not only does it save lives," Valle said, "but it gives the officers situational awareness to be able to respond to the scene safely." He emphasized that ShotSpotter allows police to respond quickly to gun violence.
Steve Valle added that ShotSpotter provides vital information when residents hesitate to call the police, aiming to enhance evidence collection and ensure a faster response.
While some support the continuity of ShotSpotter for its immediate benefits, others, like Councilmember Janani Ramachandran, question its effectiveness in reducing overall gun violence in the city.
Despite strong arguments from supporters of ShotSpotter highlighting its life-saving implications, dissenting voices remain skeptical about its long-term impact on gun violence reduction.
