James Storme said. \"But we hope the message gets out and people think twice about firing a weapon in the city of Belle Glade.\"The technology has been in place since late July, and deputies said they've already used it to make two arrests.PBSO has committed to using shot spotter for at least the next two years in Belle Glade.The same system is already used by the Riviera Beach Police Department.Follow Chris on Twitter @wpbf_chrismcg"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
