Legislative Matters Committee Page 2 of 2 Printed 12/18/2020 ShotSpotter. Chair Davis noted that the revisions to this report have also been completed. Lieutenant DiGregorio explained the context of the general order, which details the policy and procedures for the responding officers and follow-up for detectives. Ms. Webber also shared an audit and assessment of ShotSpotter, conducted independently, which addresses privacy concerns. Chair Davis highlighted that the devices are constantly recording, but only a very short period of time around a gunshot (one second before and after) is made available to the Police Department. The audit recommended decreasing the time frame for storing recordings from 72 hours to 30 hours and ShotSpotter agreed. The recordings are stored in order to have the information available in the event that a gunshot is missed. Another recommendation was for ShotSpotter to have a stated policy that it will not make recordings available for court proceedings, which has also already been enacted. Councilor Ewen-Campen highlighted that the utility of the technology has been demonstrated, and the software is free to the City. Councilors Ewen-Campen and Niedergang noted that they are comfortable with the software within the parameters that the Police Department is using it. Chair Davis suggested adding some additional information from the NYU audit, which could be useful within the report. Ms. Webber and Lt. DiGregorio agreed to add a statement referencing the audit. Chair Davis moved to discharge the item with no recommendation to allow for the update to be made and submitted to the City Council for a vote. The motion was approved on a roll call vote of 5 in favor (Clingan, McLaughlin, Ewen-Campen, Niedergang, Davis) and 0 opposed.
