Please advise soonest. Thanks.

I am working on your request, can you advise on my initial question in that it looks like you submitted the same request twice. Do you want to withdrawal the duplicate, or may I simply close it out on my end?

Hello Kathryn,
I'm not sure why you received a duplicate request. You can simply close out the duplicate.
It is important that we receive API access to Shotspotter data, as we want to serve predictions to Bill Scott in short order.
Access to API, will ensure accurate and timely predictions of subsequent gunshot locations.
Thanks.

Adam,
Specifically, we need API access to your Shotspotter data. I have already notified Chief Bill Scott. Getting Shotspotter API data in realtime allows us to build more accurate ML models, using a streaming pipeline instead of a batched process.
Thanks. Standing by.
From: San Francisco Police Department

In response to your request, this was the response I received from my data team regarding access to real time API data for shotspotter: Due to the sensitive nature of Shotspotter data and the contract we have with them, PRAs for ShotSpotter data should be requested through them. Below is an email to contact them. support@ (mailto:support@shotspotter.com) shotspotter.com
If you wish to amend the nature of your request please file a new public records request. If you have any question feel free to contact me at kathryn.winters@sfgov.org
