As a proud member of the ShotSpotter Board of Directors, I wanted to share this editorial about the  ongoing crises in Chicago, a city with one of the highest rates of gun violence in America, where the Mayor is intent on doing away with this crucial gunshot detection system. Ironically, after he terminated the current contract, he asked that it be reinstated and kept in effect until after the Democratic National Convention this summer effectively nullifying his own political arguments for doing away with a system that has probably saved countless lives in some of that city’s most distressed areas. Kudos to the City Council and their efforts to keep it. chicagotribune.com/2024/05/2…
