Regarding your response to a date range,
Actually, I'd like Shotspotter data starting from 2018. However, what we actually need is access to your Shotspotter API. Beginning with data from January 2019 to present. Having access to your API, is imperative to build proactive predictive models of gunfire. Thanks.
