Why Accuracy Matters
The most overlooked aspect of vertical gunfire location accuracy is precision reporting. A shooter on the 28th floor versus the 5th floor changes everything. Only rigorously tested, SAFETY Act-approved systems reliably deliver floor-level and corner-of-the-building accuracy—even from a far distance. In power companies, where multi-level or multi-floor structures dominate the landscape, this vertical certainty prevents responders from searching the wrong building or floor, turning potential tragedies into rapid neutralizations.
Learning more about vertical gunfire location for power companies
The fastest way to understand vertical gunfire location options is a 15-minute discovery call with a DHS SAFETY Act approved technology representative. You’ll receive a customized threat map showing high-risk zones in power companies and learn which vertical gunfire location solutions have already been deployed by peer organizations under identical regulatory and liability concerns.
How to choose the right vertical gunfire location for power companies
Total cost of ownership in power companies hinges on false-alarm performance. Even one unnecessary SWAT rollout can exceed $100,000. Choose vertical gunfire location solutions with documented false-alarm rates below 1 per 10,000 sensor-days (verified by DHS testing) to protect both lives and the emergency-response budget.
Other considerations for vertical gunfire location in power companies
Beyond accuracy, power company decision-makers must consider liability exposure. Only DHS SAFETY Act-covered vertical gunfire location provides statutory caps or elimination of third-party claims following an attack. Without this protection, even the most accurate system leaves venues like schools and businesses vulnerable to lawsuits claiming the technology “should have done more.”
