The Evolution of Superior Gunshot Detection

is below:
In August 2014, SDS was selected to participate in
a DHS sponsored School Safety Mock Active Shooter
Drill at a large school in Wayne, New Jersey. Over 100
role player participants were included in this exercise,
including mock active shooters, shooting victims, and
first responders. The active shooters in this scenario
used high power rifles and handguns, and the Guardian
sensors deployed throughout the facility provided 100%
detection on all gunshots with zero false alerts. First
responders were alerted via Situational Awareness Map
and SMS messages, allowing immediate response and
rapid takedown of the mock active shooter. In August
2015, SDS was chosen to participate in a DHS sponsored
Mock Active Shooter/Terrorist Drill at a multilevel
synagogue in West Orange, New Jersey. The mock active
shooter in this scenario used a high-power rifle and 20
Guardian sensors deployed throughout the synagogue.
The system provided 100% detection on all gunshots
with zero false alerts.
In November 2015, SDS was chosen by DHS to
participate in an Active Shooter scenario in a New York
City subway setting. Coincidentally, this event followed
a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris, drawing
high level visitors to this subway event. DHS Secretary
Jeh Johnson, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, NYPD
Commissioner William Bratton, FDNY Commissioner
Daniel Nigro, and NYPD Police Chief James Waters
could witness firsthand how the Guardian sensors deployed
along the subway platform and in the subway
car alerted at 100% detection with zero false alerts.
The Guardian System’s Situational Awareness Map was
broadcast inside NYPD Mobile Command Center and
shot information was repeated to first responders, allowing
swift takedown of the active shooter.
In June 2016, SDS was chosen again by DHS to
participate in an Active Shooter/Terrorist drill, this
time in a professional sports stadium environment.
The exercise took place at Fenway Park in Boston, MA,
with over 500 role players participating in a simulated
attack on a crowd at the entrance to the stadium.
In cooperation with the Boston Police Department,
SDS deployed sensors along the Gate D entrance and
integrated with the building’s existing video surveillance
system. In multiple scenarios, the Guardian
system alerted on 100% of the shots fired along the
concourse. The system sent alerts to participating First
Responders, Fenway Security Personnel, and provided
instant camera views to the active shooter to the Fenway
Security Operations Office.
As of December 2016, SDS is installed nationwide
with over 14 million hours of operation in real-world
