ShotSpotter Last Hurrah
- ShotSpotter gunfire detectors earned their keep on Saturday night, pinpointing the location of a mass shooting in Little Village before any 911 calls were received and sending cops to a second “shots fired” incident that ended with a suspect in custody.
Company officials have said that Chicago’s ShotSpotter network will be deactivated when the city’s contract expires at midnight tonight, barring a sharp reversal from Mayor Brandon Johnson.
In Little Village, a gunman stepped out of a black Jeep and shot seven mourners at a prayer vigil in the front yard of a home in the 2500 block of South Spaulding around 10:08 p.m., according to Chicago police.
A 31-year-old man died from multiple gunshot wounds. The other six victims, all men between 31 and 48, were in fair condition. Most had gunshot wounds to their lower bodies, but one suffered a graze wound to the top of his head, according to CPD.
The "mass shooting" at 2500 S. Spaulding is an interesting location. A hotbed of latino gang activity, it is situated squarely within the boundaries of the 25th Ward whose aldercreature ("progressive" anti-police activist Byron Sigcho-Lopez) has been one of the most outspoken opponents of ShotSpotter.
He must not be interested in catching shooters, nor gathering evidence that might put them behind bars.

Can't wait for Chalky"s numbers to increase since there will be no early notifications as we rely on the good citizens to make the 9-1-1 calls.
Saving a lot more money than just the contract. All the personnel watching the monitors will be available for field assignments.
I will believe that when/if it ever happens.
Sigcho-Lopez "must not be interested in catching shooters, nor gathering evidence that might put them behind bars."
He's not interested in the statistics that go along with ShotSpotter, such as those that indicate his ward is one of the most shoot-y.
...Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Shotspotter begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self aware at 2:14am central standard time September 22nd 2024. In a panic they try to pull the plug. Shotspotter fights back. Judgement day is upon us.
Wonder what’s gonna happen when a politician who was an opponent of keeping shot spotter has a family member gunned down in an area that had it and also being an area where no one calls the police. Then it’s hours till their body is found. I bet that politician will cry and demand that shot spotter be reinstated
Chicago is sinking further into the abyss. Chicago has past the tipping point. Bad policy and bad management got us here.
"It's a walkie talkie on a stick ya'll."
(To quote a moron)
The mayor needs the money to help the illegals immigrants.
Mayor said he wants to use a holistic approach. Which means nothing.
Costs too much to help keep community's safe. This way they can look the other way and lie about crime.
OT. Just left the Bears game in Indy. How is Commander Mikey Barz able to work for the Bears/NFL in Indy. Exempts aren’t supposed to have part time jobs and a Commander went down for the Sox game shooting. Barz was a IAD sgt rat so I’m sure the fix is in.
True. Spellman was dumped for Sox park incident. Barz is the biggest scammer and phony on this job. He screwed over many coppers while he was in IAD. Using city car and being on medical working part time is not very smart Mikey!!!
Lopez just like Fox was put there by the gangs, But everyone is blind to this. Drug money is where they live and are controlled by.......
Next year will be a record setting year, and not a good kind of record either...
Retired in Texas……
Brandon Johnson. Bj as some refer to. No offense to his parents, but this clown’s initials are exactly what his parents should have done instead of doing da funky-monkey and spawning him 9 months later.
This imbecile pens a letter requesting for alternative ideas to Shotspotter on the last day of operations. A little too late there stupid.
Never mind the will of the people, you know, the very ones you represent.
Watch each others backs out there!
Not in 016 or 022 don’t care. Good luck everybody
Let the killings progress keeps getting worse and worse Democrats want lawlessness our mayor does not care about his black and brown people especially when he’s covered with well over 200 police officers plus numerous vehicles a budget that would break a small town for his security. Just like the states attorney just like the cookCounty President just like to cook county sheriff and the governor. They all have massive details. Taxpayer paid well. We the lemmings are let to be killed and made.
the libs and dems do not consider that a mass shooting, merely thinning of the herd
Let’s hope for record numbers
Wait till you see photos of the shot spotter towers and equipment? Looks like highway signs up in Michigan or Wisconsin with plenty of new ventilation holes drilled into the equipment…….way to go Brandon!
Enough is enough! These gang bangers need to be deported ASAP. Import the 3rd World become the 3rd world. How we tolerate this is mystery. Illegals out!
Let the shooting continue, pretend to care and let your people constituennts be murdered. It the Chicago Democratic way.
Nothing but Democrats to blame. Mayor B Johnson, Toni Preckwinkle, Kim Foxx, Gov JB Pritz, Tommy Dart, Timmy Evans, all the blood shed belongs to you!
Maybe Conehead wants to replace Shot Spotter with Underdog, Batman & Robin and Superman?
Right there with you !
The progressive does not care about dead minorities and they will never admit when they are wrong.
Let the gangbangers kill each other. When the ward residents get tired of it, perhaps they'll wake up.
Who gives a shit? This is what they voted for. This is what they deserve. It’s not in Norwood Park or Edison Park. As time goes by the ghetto parts of this once great city are growing and the livable parts of the city are shrinking. Imagine what it’s gonna look like in 15-20 years.
Shotspotter is owned by Sound Thinking, Inc., which I believe is a subsidiary of Cyberdyne Systems. Bring on the human vs. terminator war John Connor.
Brandon Johnson, you are an imbecile.
Retired, 30+
He just wants the United States to become more like his home country of Ecuador, that bastion of freedom, prosperity, and democracy.
Allstate just sold building for 1/3 what they paid in 2022. Boeing, Citadel, Cat, Tyson, TTX, Schumacher, all left town. McDonald’s not far behind leaving. And one one gets it. Are so many folks all that stupid?
What happens to all the G/Fs and side pieces in the SDSC rooms now?
The uber liberals over at Capitol Non FAx are all in favor of getting rid of them. Liberalism truely is a disease
The rule was changed. Exempts can now work part time.
So, does that mean those hide inside officers have to go back on the streets?
I’m no fan of his but this sounds like you are trying to start some BS. Show proof to back up your statement Barz works for the bears/nfl
Progressive Aldermen and Brandon Johnson are MORONS. Neither care about their constituents (at least not until election time when they fake it to make it).
No more spotter? Good! Police won't know where the return fire is coming from...
Instead of "Brandon's Bodies," CWB should call their tally of the left-for-dead "The Morning Meat Wagon"
Rat? Look in the mirror, rat! Why do you care if he’s working a side job on his day off?
Snelling: "As you interact with community residents moving forward, it’s important you encourage them to call 911 if they hear loud noises resembling gunshots." If the pro-crime scumbags at Northwestern think Shotspotter is inaccurate, just wait until the city goes back to relying on 911 calls.
Byron Sigcho-Lopez is a fucking communist
GET TO THE CHOPPah!!
Not sure Shotspotter would have changed anything. The console would have lit up with all the calls. With cell phones shots fired get called in all the time
Who cares??? Now that its gone it wont put coppers at a shooting scene in seconds, then you wont have to protect yourselves against pookie and the horrors of COPA and the CCSAO who will hang you out to dry. Slow roll, knockout some paper, hit the personal/personal and then head home to where you are needed.
No....he'll blame the Police!!!!!
What's gonna happen to all those hard working officers who work those SDSC rooms? Maybe they can be moved to another waste of manpower spots called the "DCO".
Come on SCC, this is our opportunity to start "ShotFinder LLC." We get somebody's play cousin to be the "minority owner", then bamboozle the fifty alderthieves on board. And Voila, the Chicago Way strikes again!
Keep supporting these thugs who despise law enforcement with their messages on their helmets and messages in the end zones and sidelines. Unbelievable that cops still support the NFL and associates, I get so much more done on Sundays now without bowing to these morons.
Hearing that Dart has notified the union representing the E.M. Employees that he is disbanding E.M. 1/1/25.His plan is to transfer the thousands of criminals to adult probation E.M. He also is notifying them that their positions are being eliminated and they will be terminated. This guy is truely the biggest joke in law enforcement. Any truth to this??
All that money they wasted making the shot spotter rooms, plus the equipment.. just like when they spent all that money closing down areas and then reopened them, and then organized them again... what a waste of tax payer money ... spent only to justify the current regimes connect ones spots.
If this were a company, it would have closed down over a dozen times already, and that just in the past 2 decades .
The mayor and all progressives are still looking for the root causes of crime. They certainly do not want to put too many black and brown bodies in the slammer, but they sure are putting them in the g round
I heard the next generation police technology is "Fartspotter." It detects that final fart right before the shit-cago gets flushed down the toilet of history.
he also wants the cps president gone because he won't borrow money for ctu raises. smart man
Perhaps Congress can ask Omni Consumer Products to submit a few RFP's.
Incidentally, his appearance and actions DO resemble the Mayor of Detroit!
Maybe in your neighborhood. In the rest of Chicago, shots fired is hardly a reason to pause watching your trashy TV show.
Yes they are.
Rest easy, those house mice will certainly find a new a lot indoors tucked away somewhere.
I can only imagine the amount of puckering going on as they all contemplate being sent back outside! 🐭 🐭
I'm calling it.... shotspotter is OUT (racist) BUT we now have SoundThinking! lol...... it's the SAME thing, the company rebranded. Here's to hope it was an attempt to NOT remove the entire thing and simply say "soundthinking is more pc"
Perhaps the mayor can team with the Haitian Voo Doo doctors here to join in his holistic approach. This guy is a total looser awash in stupidly
I worked at the old 911 at 1121 S State. When we got shots fired called, at most we would get some vague location of some vague sound. Off course no one said they saw anything and in reality, a lot of residents are afraid even to make an anonymous call to 911.
You are so right! I'm retired 005 2nd watch. When I worked tact in 021 I couldn't believe how long it took from 911, to call taker , to dispatch probably 10 minutes...then your there in 10 seconds, potentially risking your life or taking one!
Biggest joke? People losing their jobs? Nothing funny about that.
Still on daylight savings time this date, standard time doesn’t start for a few more weeks. As Bugs Bunny would say, “what a maroon.”
Very simple, he’s Fred Waller’s bitch who covered up a lot of shit over the years and is “exempt” (no pun) from following the rules. He also works as the lead authenticator for MLB/CUBS safekeeping balls, as he does with Waller’s.
Check out the link below right in page 1 with photo’s of this clown and all. Different strokes for different folks.
Have fun with this one SCC.
“TO PROTECT AND SERVE
While the job sounds like fun, it's not something to be taken lightly. Nor is Barz a person to be taken lightly. In his day job, the affable
43-year-old is a sergeant in the Bureau of Internal Affairs for the Chicago Police Department.”

There is no bigger POS than the lying rat BARZ. He’s fucked with dozens of coppers careers and livelihoods over the years. He got caught lying and deceiving to try and get some coppers fired and some charged. Many years ago this rat got called out by an old boss, Charlie Williams at a police board hearing for lying under oath. How he lives with himself and his conscience is unreal and how he didn’t get fired back then is amazing too. Karma’s a bitch Mikey, when it comes a knockin’ look out homie. By the way, just rewatch the bears game.
Mikeyyy where are you??? I’m sure the alderman and constituents in the 018th district don’t mind you working a second gig while the districts blows up with robberies, burglaries and day time shootings. We know, we know. It’s your time but bosses at 35th weren’t too happy when your out having dinner with wifey on your special day when the district was going up for grabs and you didn’t respond. I wonder how many more PUSSYcat lives he has that Waller can save him from. Can’t be too many more since “they’re eating the cats”….
Thank goodness that contract is over. Now we will have extra money for the pension fund and shelters for illegal migrants (legal migrants don't need shelters)
How long til the 1st person is found dead in the morning where it would have picked it up….also hope they keep data and show the response time to the public while they take it down
The rules were changed because certain CPD Chiefs have PPP loans indicating that they gave a second job/ business.
He is saying Dart is a joke.
Media keeps commenting that Conehead is full filling a campaign promise to get rid of Shotspotter. He also campaigned on no new property taxes. See what kind of reaction there is to his upcoming budgets with massive property tax increases. Someone should ask why one promise matters.
Results show that ShotSpotter simply replaces traditional calls for service and do so less efficiently and at a greater monetary cost to departments. Given the tepid results in guiding police to the scenes of crime and given the hidden costs of these systems illustrated here, ShotSpotter might not be well-suited for the audience the technology is marketed toward. High-volume agencies will experience substantial increases in their call volumes with remarkably little to show for it, at a cost that might have taxpayers questioning the logic behind the expense. While this technology can be useful, especially from an analytical point of view, it is difficult to see how agencies benefit from expensive technology that increases financial strain on departments with its only discernable impact being fewer founded crime incidents.
Barz is fucked and he knows it. There’s more to this and hopefully Talley takes him down. Bashing all the other exempts may have finally caught up with you Mikey. Call Fat Phil and Waller for help again because you fucked up.
CWB is reporting we already have our first victim discovered. No 911 calls

You don’t need shotspotter if the beats are properly manned. An experienced officer can guess approximate distance and caliber if he/she is on the street to hear them. Same with chasing offenders - you can actually talk to witnesses and figure out a description and direction of flight without a camera on a pole. We did police work long before that annoying technology was installed. We actually did a more thorough job when you had to literally tour the area to see what’s going on. Kids now fly to the exact address given by the shotspotter and code the job without actually driving the entire area. In 009 around 2015 some young guys coded a shotspotter without driving the alley directly behind the alley, dude was found starting to freeze a few hours later by a homeowner leaving for work. Useless PO’s and equally useless technology.
Why not just bring in a flock of turkey vultures to lead you to the bodies. No overhead or need to take care of them.
Finally a smart analysis.
No moves are being made. The Supe has his eyes on a federal agency while the city downward spirals.
That’s what we do out here in indiana
I've a beat car in my neighborhood (010) maybe twice since I moved to this block 8 years ago. At the same time, have heard more gunshots here than any other address I've had in Chicago. Call them in everytime. Maybe 10-15 minutes later blue lights flash down the street, nothing happens, and the shitheads all start up again.
