Public Information Request: Flock Safety Raven Side-by-Side Comparison

To Whom It May Concern:

According to the Flock Safety website, Spring Branch ISD conducted a side-by-side comparison with of Flock Safety's Raven audio detection devices with a competitors tool. The site states, "While the school has had gunshot detection systems from another vendor, Baimbridge was not convinced they were the best choice. He agreed to a test of the Flock Safety Raven® audio detection devices, putting them next to the other vendor’s devices for a side-by-side comparison. In the first five days the Flock Safety Raven® devices identified three incidents of gunshots that the other vendor’s system did not detect. That early warning system, paired with LPR cameras could be key to preventing school violence, the chief said."
