The contract for this technology has been extended and it will remain a resource for our neighborhoods. This outcome reflects the persistence of those who choose to prioritize public safety tools. We will continue to monitor the implementation of this system to ensure it serves the community as intended.

Mayor Johnson and his administration have decided to end the contract of the ShotSpotter technology. This technology leads officers to an area within 80ft of a detected gun fire. This technology is not meant to reduce gun fire but to assist officers in responding quicker to shots fired and render aide to a possible victim and to secure a crime scene.
The Johnson Administration has extended this technology only through the summer months and conveniently through the DNC. This Technology is 9 million a year and is paid through a cell phone tax. If this technology is eliminated money will have to be used for public safety through OEMC.
The 8th District Police Council is asking for your support as we push for the Johnson Administration to reconsider eliminating this crucial technology come September. The 8th District Police council with support of other local leaders is asking Mayor Johnson to keep this tool as part of the police department technology. This technology will help communities of all ethnic and social backgrounds. This tool will help officers respond to and help those in need when no one calls. We understand this tool is not perfect but no technology is perfect. We hope to gain enough signatures that Alderman who want to keep this vital to can to present to Mayor Johnson. Please sign this petition and let your voices be heard!

We are approaching one thousand signatures and this momentum signals a shared commitment to public safety across our city. Please consider reaching out to those who have not yet signed so that we can present a unified request to the Mayor before the current contract expires.

Shotspotter works! gunshots are no longer random. Unfortunately, it is an everyday occurrence so people no longer dial 911. Shotspotters are a valuable and viable tool that is worth its weight in gold in all neighborhoods, it does NOT discriminate.
Shotspotter is a necessary tool to aid police in solving crimes and rendering aide if necessary. The mayor should not be so intent on keeping campaign promises that he neglects the safety of communities who most benefit from this technology.
I think it's hypocritical of our mayor to keep ShotSpotter around for the benefit of the DNC attendees, but dismantle it afterwards. The people of Chicago are the ones in most need police protection. We pay the bills, and we're the ones who do the living and the dying here. Please remember that, Mr. Mayor.
Shot spotter should be kept in our communities for the reason that it has save lives and many people don't call police. This has the ability to put a patrol car at the scene many people will not call 911 due to the fact that police officers are busy elsewhere because of the shortness of officers.
Shotspotter saves lives by allowing police to be dispatched to a scene faster so they can perform like saving techniques if needed. Shotspotter is about 30 to 60 seconds within the incident , compared to an average 4-7 mins timeframe for a citizen to call .

Keep the ShotSpotter!! Without this technology, it will take first responders longer to get to the area to potentially SAVE SOMEONES LIFE! After all, the city’s #1 priority is “the sanctity of human life.” This technology helps first responders honor that!
