\n A massive surge in activations of the NYPD\u2019s ShotSpotter gunfire detection system shows that the level of gunplay in New York is even more serious than previously thought, according to department data and police sources.<\/p>\n

Through July 21, the high-tech system had been set off 4,892 times citywide, according to NYPD figures \u2014 a\u00a0 80.8-percent increase from the 2,705 activations through the same date last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

When zeroing in on the warm-weather months, the difference becomes even more stark.<\/p>\n

ShotSpotter was triggered 2,170 times between June 1 and July 21, a sky-high 141.1-percent hike from the 900 tallied in the period in 2019.<\/p>\n

The rise in ShotSpotter detections coincides with a pronounced spike in gun violence that has plagued the five boroughs for most of 2020, but particularly since the mercury started to rise.<\/p>\n

Through July 19, 854 people had been struck by gunfire in 698 shooting incidents across the city, yearly increases of 77.5 and 68.6 percent, according to NYPD data.<\/p>\n

But the ShotSpotter figures suggest that those incidents are just the tip of the iceberg, with gunplay in which no one was struck increasingly commonplace in the city.<\/p>\n

While the system can occasionally return false positives from other loud noises such as cars backfiring or fireworks \u2014 complaints of which have also soared since June \u2014 it is seen as 90-percent accurate, sources said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assuming that even 15-percent of all activations are false positives, that still translates to about 4,150 detected gunshots this year, and 1,850 since June 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shows a significant increase in shots being fired in the street,\u201d one Brooklyn detective told The Post. \u201cWe could easily have many more victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people arrested tell us they know cops won\u2019t stop them, so everybody is carrying a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shootings have particularly surged since June 15 when NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea disbanded the gun-hunting anti-crime unit over concerns about their involvement in a number of notorious, high-profile incidents.<\/p>\n

The move has drawn criticism even from within the department\u2019s upper ranks and, when combined with reform initiatives that restrict cops\u2019 ability to do their jobs, has emboldened criminals to roam the streets armed to the teeth, sources said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot more guns out there than the politicians realize,\u201d said one Brooklyn supervisor. \u201cMore importantly, the shooters are not afraid of carrying them because the cops won\u2019t stop them.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
