GSN 2014 Digital Yearbook of Homeland Security Awards Recipients Government Agency Awards South Bend, Indiana Police Dept. – 2014 Platinum Winner Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Most Notable Municipal/County Security Program, Project or Initiative Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ShotSpotter in South Bend, Indiana Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– South Bend PD wrestled with how to best control an increasing amount of gunfire activity to reduce crime and make the community safe. To combat this problem, it implemented SST’s ShotSpotter technology SST. Now, police are alerted in seconds of authenticated gunfire incidents, and given location data pinpointed and reliable to within 25 meters – saving a tremendous amount of time responding. This time could be the difference that could save a victim’s life and greatly increases its chances of apprehending the perpetrator. After the first nine months of using SpotShotter, Chief Teachman has seen significant improvements in South Bend. First, the number of 911 calls in the hotspot area has increased from approximately 8% to 25%. This is a tremendous help to officers as the addition of citizen’s reporting helps bolster the effectiveness of SpotShotter in solving crime. Secondly, South Bend has seen an increase in evidence collection from just 5% of the 911 gunfire calls to 50% of those calls when accompanied by a ShotSpotter alert. Thirdly, the summer season usually has the most incidents of gun activity in all cities, and in South Bend the past summer saw a marked decrease by some 38% from the average of the four years prior. Responding officers’ safety is also improved as they can be better prepared when arriving on the scene knowing the number of gunshots, the locations of each, and the movement of the suspect or suspects. 88
