New ShotSpotter?
This would mean new contracts to new connected people, right?
As Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration conducts pilot testing on first-responder technologies to replace the ShotSpotter system he discontinued, one skeptical alderman wants to move ahead on a technology tryout he set up himself.
Ald. Raymond Lopez, 15th, announced his plans Monday to test a technology that helps police identify and respond to gunshots with tools like acoustic detectors, infrared cameras and even drones. The pilot program would cover half a square mile in the Back of the Yards neighborhood and cost the city nothing, but it can start only with Johnson’s approval, Lopez said.
“Last time I checked, the mayor said he was open to all pilots and possibilities, so now he will have an opportunity to act on his words,” said Lopez, who often harshly criticizes the mayor.
In the meantime, Conehead's people are testing a different version of ShotSpotter:
As that process moves forward, the city has already begun piloting new first-responder technology of its own, Gatewood said. “We have a couple running now, and honestly the plan is to see if there’s interest to run more,” he said. Gatewood declined to share details on what specific technologies are being tested, where the tests are occurring and what the results have shown. One aim is to more directly target high-crime areas, he said.
The goal for Johnson’s administration is to have a “full-fledged product out on the streets” by this summer, Gatewood said. “We’re not going to rush this process. We’re going to make sure this process is done right,” he said.
To help prepare for new technology, the city checked its surveillance system in December to see what cameras were blocked by trees, leading to over 300 trimmings, Gatewood said. Johnson’s administration has also hosted gunshot wound care workshops and events targeting high-violence blocks with government resources, he said.
Um...."targeting high-violence blocks." Isn't that what Conehead railed against? ShotSpotter being racist-ly deployed to minority neighborhoods? You know, they ones with near constant gunfire, night and day along with dead bodies laying in alleys for hours on end?
And a "wound care workshop"? Is this an admission that CFD is undermanned, under-equipped and unable to respond to twenty-five-hundred or more shootings per year? Sure seems like it.
Also seems like the entire reason for getting rid of the original ShotSpotter was that Conehead's people weren't the ones getting the contract money.

“Wound care workshops”?? 🤣😂
I would give a months salary to see a troop of Westsiders trying to apply a chest seal, tourniquet or even gauze packing to some shot-to-shit pooch.
Something tells me they’d get dick accomplished between floppin’ around on the ground, screaming and wailing for Jesus, calling out for Dude’s mama, ripping off their shirts and pounding their chests proclaiming they “finna ride” in retaliation, bellowing “where da fuck da poleese at? Where da goddamn ammalance”? All while relieving the victim of any and all contraband, USC and jew-ree as he bleeds out.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Wound care workshop 🤣😂. May I propose Financial Planning and Two Parent Household Seminars next?
GTFOH.
UMedic Ujjimaa medic based in Chicago they teach how to protect yurself family & stop the bleed in their description which is bias to LE they coach you on how to deal with police. In passed events classes were held at Daley library.
Coneheads people will be looking for one of his new peoples to head the CTA.
Self extinguishing each other works for most
You're better off without it based on every cop related post on this site. Find dead body, report to coroner, move on.
I hear there are some promotions and lateral movements on the way. I’m waiting on those that are in the know to chime in.
OT: Is it true that command promotions, demotions and lateral movements are on the way?
So we are replacing Shotspotter with a “new” Shotspotter? El Brandito has to be replaced with someone that is more responsible with the tax payers money. The old system worked perfectly so please explain…why are we replacing it again?
All about who gets paid how much for a new system. Simple as that city Hall pockets need to be filled. The Chicago Way in action. First determine The Chicago Value the slip the money under the many tables.
New technologies? Wound care workshops? Lol!
Sopranos intro music playing......
... showing conehead with detail leaving Lombard...driving to the city
Conehead is about as smooth as a snake oil salesman. Also dumber than a box of rocks.
Who has this contract?
Wound care clinics? Really?

Maybe dumb as a fox....He will collect pension from being a mayor and a "teacher".
When are they going to remove Commander Watson from the Area One Detectives? She has everyone fighting. I can’t take another threatening email from her. So many hate to see her coming. She’s phony.
Let me guess..He's gonna hire shitheads (or former shitheads 😆) to stand on corners with government paid cell phones to call it shots fired! 😂 $80,000 per.
LMFAO. Great post
Huh?
More useless "tools" for the CPD. All it did was make us inventory casings at an astounding rate.
hmmm,,, criminal shoots and kills criminal,,,,,,, sounds good to me !!!!
Quincy Magoo Says:
No more contracts in return for political favors. Won’t be needed anyway . Trump will take care of the crime problem, and anyone who stands in his way, including Conehead. Conehead can speak to Tom Homan if he has a problem with that.
I don't want shotspotter... I don't want anyone to know where my return fire came from....
Love this comment, so true.
Fuckhead politicians

Never confuse intelligence with low, animal cunning.
2-leg or 4-leg coyote? It's important.
I need to know whether to cheer or cry.
"Bed Bug Spotter" for merit bosses LMFAO!
Appears this new company came up with bigger bribes than Shotspotter.
Its going to be a minority contract. Bet on it and somewhere beneath the sheets someone is connected. Might be 3-4 layers down but its there.
Dying with this 😂😂. I hope you decide to write a book at some point. Most of your shit is hysterical and blunt and right on target. I assume you have some sort of writing background??
Kickbacks are needed, so changes will be made
the new shot spotter will be going green and be solar powered,,, therefore will only work during the day
Yes, this would be like watching a wet seal trying to throw a greased football.
The last sentence in the post says it all.
Ghetto politicians.
The BEST concise narrative of a ghetto drama !! I especially enjoyed the last sentence as most people are unfamiliar of this trait of the dingo.
Probable winner of comment o' the month, if not year!!!!
As always, a million thanks for what you do SCC!
“Troop of Westsiders”. I see what ya did there 😂😂😂
How much is this "workshop" costing and who's payin for it? Looks like someone is gettin paid for this nonsense
Just a tourist passing through but what does finna ride mean?
Buck Buckshot Says:
Crime will drop with Trump arriving, along with increased Concealed Carry, and Conehead will claim the drop is because of his changes which will be basically contracts for his chronies who feed him kickback money. It will be stolen success by Conehead , due to Trumps efforts, not his. Learn to read between the lines people. Democrats play poker with your tax dollars, but they themselves never lose because they play with Your Money, never their own.
it's not racist if conehead gets some moola
