Denver Police To Test Gunshot Spotter System Wednesday
DENVER (CBS4) - Denver police want residents near their gunshot spotter system to be aware of planned testing for Wednesday evening. Testing will start at 5:30 p.m. and end at 11:30 p.m.
The system uses a network of sensors which alert police when those sensors detect the sound of gunshots. The sensors supply a location of the gunfire.
Police stress no actual bullets will be fired into the air or ground, and there is no danger to the public.
Residents could hear a sequence of gunshots followed by the system validating the sound detection.
