ShotSpotter Responds to VICE Article: “ShotSpotter Forensic Evidence is 100% Reliable”
ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection solution, responded to allegations that VICE published on July 26, 2021, stating that ShotSpotter alters alerts at the request of police departments.
“Recently, VICE published outrageous allegations that create a false narrative about our technology, review and forensic process that undermine the important work ShotSpotter does every day to help combat the gun violence epidemic,” ShotSpotter said. “First, ShotSpotter forensic evidence is 100 percent reliable and based entirely on the facts and science. ShotSpotter has never altered the information in a court-admissible detailed forensic report based on fitting a police narrative.”
