From the comment section:
- Has anyone anywhere ever got one of those Gunshot Detection calls?
Or is that something else that the city didn’t pay the bill on.

Went to some camera class a couple of years ago and we were told the cameras no longer have gunshot detection. Haven't for a long time.
We noticed that the number of calls coming out, allegedly from the "gunshot detection system" had dropped off precipitously over a year or two ago. We figured, probably like everyone else, that they had finally fine tuned the damn things to be able to tell the difference between a gunshot and a car backfiring, a firework, or a dropped piece of construction debris.
Evidently, that probably would have cost too much, so we understand they mothballed the program.
