Pittsfield Council Reviews Public Safety Budget, Keeps SpotShotter
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — On the fourth day of budget deliberations, the City Council preliminarily approved public safety and public service budgets.
See the first two days of budget review here; and the third day here.
Councilors deliberated the Pittsfield Police Department's $16,439,421 spending plan for more than 90 minutes. Ward 1 Councilor Kenneth Warren unsuccessfully motioned to cut $220,000 for ShotSpotter services.
He said the acoustic gunshot detection technology is not well used throughout the country, citing other communities that have opted out or are exploring it.
Pittsfield has two more years on its contract; while councilors voted down the budget reduction several were willing to explore the impact data and see if those funds could be used elsewhere.
Police Chief Marc Maddalena reported that there has been a significant decrease in shots fired calls, and attributed it to the surveillance technology assisting enforcement. He said it also comes in faster than 911 calls.
"If people know that just by that noise alone that we're responding within seconds, that's preventing them from utilizing that weapon," he said.
"So that in of itself is saving lives."
It has an about 20 percent accuracy rate, and police respond to every activation.
On Sunday, at least two homes in the area of Memorial Drive and Doyle Drive were struck by gunfire and investigators located 17 shell casings on scene. This was brought up during conversation; it was reported that there were 13 impulses on ShotSpotter during the incident.
Councilor at Large Pete White referenced an article he found about a 13-year-old boy who is fighting for his life after he was found shot between two homes in South Chicago on Thursday afternoon.
"Police said the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system was shut down in 2024 and when this child was shot, no 911 calls came in," he said.
"So, when the question comes up, 'What is $220,000 worth?' I think a 13-year-old's life, and multiply that across how many we may not get calls on, is worth a deeper dive than making a reduction during a city council budget session."
Last month, the Cambridge City Council voted to end that city's use of ShotSpotter after years of concerns about privacy and potential data-sharing with federal authorities. The Cambridge Police Officers Association has protested the move, saying it makes the city less safe.
A 2025 article in the Desert Sun reports that Dayton, Ohio, and several North Carolina cities also ended contracts with ShotSpotter because of the high cost and number of alerts that failed to recover evidence of gunfire.
Northeastern professor Eric Piza in a 2024 report found that ShotSpotter got officers to the scene quicker, but did not reduce gun violence in Kansas City or Chicago, and they were not anymore likely to be solved.
"They found there's not a lot of advantage to it, other than getting there quicker," Warren said.
"It doesn't solve crimes, it doesn't. There's no reduction in gunshot victimization, there's no increase in clearance rates. So it's not all that helpful."
