Projects

STPP wrote a policy brief that raised concerns about acoustic gunshot detection systems (AGDS) such as Shotspotter, a law enforcement technology designed to detect gunshot sounds and notify police of the event and location in close to real time. From the policy brief, We the People Action Fund, created a 2-page flyer and infographic to advocate for the Detroit City Council to reject spending $7 million for and terminate Detroit's contract with Shotspotter, an AGDS manufacturer.

STPP is also working with We the People Action Fund to better understand the technical aspects of electrical grids throughout Michigan to advocate for fair electric rates around the state.
