"Chicago Mayor's Controversial Decision: The End of ShotSpotter Technology"

Former Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson speaks out against Mayor Brandon Johnson's decision not to renew the contract for the CPD's ShotSpotter technology, despite its effectiveness in reducing gun violence. The contract with SoundThinking, the company that owns the technology, ends Friday, and the mayor wants to extend it for six months to allow police to function without it. Meanwhile, neighboring Elmwood Park is considering investing in the technology, highlighting the divide in opinions on the effectiveness of ShotSpotter in addressing gun violence.
