Solutions Electric is proud to be the Washington DC installer for the Shotspotter gunshot detector system in the District of Columbia. One of the

By 2007, the original 48 hard-wired detectors installed by the Bureau had proven invaluable in solving crimes in the city and saving lives. The Shotspotter Sytem was privatized in 2007, and Solutions Electric was selected to repair and calibrate sensors, update old devices and add to the system. Solutions Electric crews recently installed the updated version of this sophisticated system, extending the reach and density of DC’s gunshot detectors throughout the city.
