ShotSpotter Flex REDWOOD CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT 1 DETECT . PROTECT • CONNECT Introducti0n It has been SST's honor to serve the Redwood City Police Department in its gun violence reduction efforts and we are pleased to present the following 2018 ShotSpotter Flex renewal proposal for the City's approximately 0.25 square mile portion of the coverage area currently deployed in San Mateo County and Redwood City. In 2017, 52 gunfire incidents were detected in the combined San Mateo County and Redwood City coverage areas. Nationwide, on average, less than 20% of shooting incidents are reported. As a result, 8 out of 10 times that someone fires a gun in vulnerable neighborhoods, the police are unaware of the incident and therefore do not respond. This lack of a precise, fast, and consistent response to gunfire creates an environment where gun violence becomes normalized, along with burdensome health, socio- economic, and psychological costs for impacted communities. Using the ShotSpotter real-time gunfire alerts, the Redwood City PoliceDepartment can effectively respond to gunfire, disrupting the gun violence cycle, deterring further incidents, and build community trust in the process. We are proud to be part of your ongoing efforts to make Redwood City Police a safer place to live, work, and visit, and we look forward to contributing to further crime reductions. To that end, the following renewal proposal is for the requested additional three-year subscription for the City's portion of the coverage area (we are working in parallel with San Mateo County to renew their subscription for their portion of the coverage area).
