Chicago Communities Support ShotSpotter

"Shotspotter saved my grandsons life, it picked up the shots and they found him within minutes he had been shot 27 times…he is alive…"

"Keeping ShotSpotter is an absolute necessity. It would be negligent and dangerous for all citizens to get rid of it. "

"It is important to have gunshot detection because there have been many cases where a person is killed and nobody called 911. They had bystander effect and assumed someone else called teh police and often time a life could have been saved. With gun shot detection police can be alerted to investigate to either find a victim or spent shell casing for future analysis"

"Honestly, my community is seeing a shift in gunviolence and the police respond before I can call becasue of Shotspotter technology. This is a tool of many to stop rising crime in Chicago. I don’t see why 10 million a year is a high asking price consider how much money is squandered here. It’s a good investment."

"Tools to assist our 1st responders need not be topics of discussion to stop or discontinue. Crime is running rapid. Stop placating to the criminals. Those are the only people who want our law enforcement at a disadvantage."

"Yes I absolutely support gun shots detection in Chicago. Shootings in Chicago has increased dramatically and has become a common occurrence."

"We need all the help to deal with gun fire, shooting of innocent people. We need early alerts of gun fire, Period. "

"Most definitely a need for ALL communities,especially with the rise in violence."

"Being a paramedic, those seconds do count."

"This is nonnegotiable"

"IT MATTERS"
