A Gunshot Detection System Designed with School Safety in Mind

In 2021, there were 249 incidents where a firearm was discharged on K-12 campuses. More recent research shows over 1,150 guns were seized on K-12 campuses during the 2022-2023 school year, equating to around six guns per day.
Excluding mass shootings, there were at least 308 instances of gunfire on college campuses from 2013 to 2022. Resulting in 94 deaths and 115 injuries, these shootings include individual attacks, unintentional gunfire, legal interventions, self-harm, and other instances.
As a result, more campuses are turning to gun and gunshot detection systems to combat gun violence. School leaders are tasked with the challenge of deciding if the technology is right for them and then choosing a solution that best fits their campus’ unique needs.
