(Fayetteville, N.C.) – The City of Fayetteville launched the “ShotSpotter Fayetteville” webpage on Nov. 15 to provide City residents with timely and accurate data.
The Fayetteville Police Department began using the gunfire location technology on Sept. 28 in three areas of the city to reduce response time to gun shots and address violence in these areas. ShotSpotter was implemented along a portion of the Murchison Road corridor, in the Massey Hill area and near Cliffdale and South Reilly Roads in west Fayetteville.
ShotSpotter is a gunfire detection technology provided by Sound Thinking that uses acoustic sensors, or microphones, placed in a designated area of deployment. The sensors are placed specifically on light poles, public buildings, or telephone poles.
Residents can visit the webpage at FayettevilleNC.gov/ShotSpotter to learn more about ShotSpotter and the data collected from the program.
