Portland, OR is moving towards potentially implementing ShotSpotter. The population is 6% Black. The homicide victims are 50% Black. We have twice the homicide count of Seattle, or more homicides than Seattle and SF combined. Portland is smaller than both cities, so it is very concerning. Unfortunately the licensing model for ShotSpotter is such that it is only deployed in the high homicide neighborhoods due to cost. I have to imagine the marginal cost of an extra sq mile is low. I’d like to see a diversity discount or something so that it would be economical to put the system everywhere and dispel the racial bias issue. Or maybe charge per homicide or gun recovered instead.
