The technology uses acoustic sensors to triangulate the position of gunfire so that officers can more easily find the location of shootings and track the number of shots fired.
Officers will be notified within 60 seconds after gunshots are fired allowing them to respond more quickly to incidents of violence.
Additionally, The Baltimore County Police Department will use $738,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding to pay for the pilot program.
