Developing Preventive Police Strategies

Developing a crime gun intelligence strategy that uses the most innovative, lead-generating technology is imperative to ensure success in lowering gun violence. CGIT provides police departments and their academic research partners with the unique opportunity to collect and evaluate gunshot data comprehensively. Through the use of advanced ballistic imaging systems, acoustic gunshot detection technology, and integrated databases, CGIT enables the precise collection of detailed data on every firearm-related incident. This includes information on the type of weapon used, ballistic evidence, and the location and time of these crimes.

By systematically gathering this data, law enforcement agencies can better assess and understand gun violence trends. These insights include identifying hotspots of gun activity, understanding the movement and origin of illegal firearms, and recognizing repeat offenders and networks involved in gun trafficking. The collection of this data allows for sophisticated analysis, including predictive analytics, which can forecast potential future incidents and guide preemptive measures.

All data collected by CGIT’s FireFLY system is solely owned by the law enforcement agency and can be openly shared with any and all of their academic research partners.
