Reduced response times to gunshot detections before public reporting.
Established a scalable foundation for ongoing feature and city expansions.
Highlights / Intro
ShotSpotter is a mission-critical web and mobile interface designed for law enforcement teams.
The platform alerts officers to gunfire incidents detected by ShotSpotter’s proprietary acoustic sensors deployed across major urban areas.
unosquare partnered with the company to create a responsive system that not only maps live alerts but also provides actionable intelligence before officers even arrive at the scene; transforming data into faster, smarter decision-making in the field.
Challenge
ShotSpotter’s existing ecosystem gathered acoustic data effectively but lacked a modern interface to translate that data into immediate, visual context for officers in motion.
The system needed to:
Integrate live alerts with Google Maps and street view visualization.
Support rapid, mobile-first access for field agents.
Provide real-time updates with reliability across devices and network conditions.
Solution
unosquare designed and developed a fully responsive web and mobile platform to visualize real-time incidents through an intuitive interface.
Using Angular and Google Maps APIs, the solution provides officers with immediate access to location data, incident details, and map overlays—allowing them to navigate and respond efficiently.
Scope:
- Strategy & Design
- Front-End Development
- Enterprise Web & Mobile App
- ~30 views plus ongoing support
