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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
