This project aims to deploy a community-based acoustic gunshot alert system in Austin, TX, using inexpensive sensors and AI to detect and localize gunfire. Alerts are sent to residents via an app, allowing them to engage with law enforcement or gain peace of mind. The system aggregates data from multiple sensors to pinpoint shot locations, improving incident reporting and response times. By assessing its impact on public safety, community attitudes, and law enforcement call efficiency, the project seeks to provide a scalable, affordable model for other communities affected by gun violence.
