According to this article, the Murfreesboro PD is using ShotSpotter technology: https://www.wgnsradio.com/article/86177/murfreesboro-police-bolster-their-crime-fighting-arsenal-with-technology

Am I to understand that the agency is using ShotSpotter but doesn't have a contract, if there are not responsive records to my request?

From: Murfreesboro Police Department

The article is not totally accurate. The City of Murfreesboro has not entered into a contract with SoundThinking nor ShotSpotter Technology.
