New ShotSpotter Update
Yesterday, we blogged about the boundaries for the new “Shaw ShotSpotter” that actually covers parts of Adams Morgan, Columbia Heights, Mt. Pleasant, U Street, Bloomingdale, Truxton Circle, and Park View. (Perhaps it graces the borders of lower Crestwood and lower Petworth, as well? D.C. has too many damn neighborhoods.)
Anyway, here’s the graphic version of the rough boundaries of the coverage area, as approved by Captain Michael Eldridge, who is overseeing the technology.

If the shotspotter is an audio detector, I would imagine that the boundaries would be a little bit more curved (i.e., a set of overlapping circles centered on each mike).

bloomingdale isn’t included in the highlighted section of that map, despite what the incorrect labeling indicates.

good thing we don’t rely on google maps’ labeling algorithm!
