According to foreign media reports, the General Electric (GE) Smart City project will gain a tougher stance in the containment of gun violence. Today, ShotSpotter CEO Ralph Clark announced a partnership with GE at the International Police Chiefs Association meeting. In the future, GE will deploy a gun sound detector developed by ShotSpotter in the streetlights of its smart city. This is the first major enforcement function in the GE Smart City project. In the past, the project focused more on environmental protection and logistics.

The core of the cooperation will be the hardware sharing of both parties. Among them, GE's smart street light has built a powerful processor that can fully support the operation of a ShotSpotter device. So for both companies, the key to getting a gun sound detection function is to need a piece of software.
Although some cities now have ShotSpotter deployed, they can cover a very limited range—typically, it can only cover a few square miles. But if you choose to use GE smart street lights, you can cover the entire city at the lowest cost. “Now, we have the ability to cover the entire city and don’t have to cover the entire city.†Clark told the media.
GE and ShotSpotter hope to use this streetlight system to help law enforcement agencies get the precise location of gunshots as quickly as possible. Once the streetlight detects and locates the location of the gunshot, it sends a message to the police station, the law enforcement dispatch center, and the police officer's smartphone. It is reported that ShotShotter can accurately detect the location of the shooting, the gunshots and the number of gunmen.
However, like most of GE's smart city technology, the effect of the ShotShotter streetlight system in practical applications is hard to say.
