The Mechanism of Gunshot Technology on Aiding Public Safety

Gunshots emit sound waves that can travel through air and water which are recorded in frequencies. From these given sound waves, it is possible to create a sensory device that can catch the sound waves and turn into electrical signals to be able to detect gunshots and be able to provide a rough radius from where these sound waves were received. Doing so will send a signal to any nearby public safety official. Helping aid public safety to respond quicker than a 911 caller that is on scene and having to provide details and may be in an unstable condition. There are multiple variables that could deceive the mechanism making it faulty. We will examine some of these variables and discuss methods for analyzing the effectiveness of various gunshot detection systems.
