University police partnered with SoundThinking around 2015 and chose McKeldin Mall for the first sensor deployment because of the location’s high foot traffic and easy accessibility for potential threats, UMPD police chief David Mitchell said.
Leaked data show the locations of various ShotSpotter devices across the University of Maryland campus. Some of the most notable locations are McKeldin Mall, Adele Stamp Student Union and Edward St. John Teaching and Learning Center. There are 12 different ShotSpotter device postings on this campus.
