Denver Police To Test Gunshot Spotter System Wednesday
DENVER (CBS4) - Denver police want residents near their gunshot spotter system to be aware of planned testing for Wednesday evening. Testing will start at 5:30 p.m. and end at 11:30 p.m.
The system uses a network of sensors which alert police when those sensors detect the sound of gunshots. The sensors supply a location of the gunfire.
FYI: Residents in downtown #Denver may hear gunfire tonight as we test our gunshot detection system. #TellYourFriends pic.twitter.com/xngrVWbtCC
