Gun shot tracking technology now in parts of Omaha
DaveB:
When I lived on 26th and Leavenworth, I could tell where the shots were fired from just from the flash in the windows.
sjwsti:
I had the opportunity to talk to a couple of OPD Officers about this the other day. They say that it is working better than expected. They have been surprised at the number of shots fired incidents that go unreported but the shot tracker has been picking up. Within its first week of service they credit it with getting an illegal gun off of the street and it has had a direct impact on reducing response times.

Shawn thanks for the update, that is some good news. Now if we could just get OPD to realize that not all guns are illegal guns....

Sounds promising. I wonder though if it would detect gun shots fired within homes though? Probably not huh?

What exactly are these "illegal guns" of which you speak? Ones not registered with OPD? Wouldn't those technically be "undocumented guns"?
