Boston’s ShotSpotter technology, which has been in use since 2007, is set to expire in June. The ACLU of Massachusetts has released a new report that questions the reliability of the technology, with nearly 70% of ShotSpotter alerts not leading to any evidence of shots being fired. To discuss the role and impacts of ShotSpotter in Boston, Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty Project at the ACLU of Massachusetts, and Tom Chittum, SoundThinking’s senior vice president of Analytics and Forensic Services, will be hosting a discussion.
