Mayor Brandon Johnson has decided to end the city's use of ShotSpotter, a controversial gunshot detection system. This decision was announced in February 2024, with the city's contract with the technology not being renewed. The decision was part of Mayor Johnson's campaign promise, and it was met with a mix of support and criticism. Some argue that ShotSpotter is an ineffective tool for combating gun violence, while others believe it is a valuable resource for police response. The city plans to explore new strategies to reduce shootings and increase accountability without the use of ShotSpotter. 17GEN4.com
