APD said the city has chosen to add new ShotSpotter technology to downtown and the northeast. They added the city denied adding new gunshot detection systems to the south and northwest parts of Albuquerque due to budget constraints, explaining it is very taxing to cover the entire city.
APD urged the community to always call in when they hear gunshots ring out, adding those calls will get them to within usually 80 feet of where a crime possibly occured.
