Chicago is letting the ShotSpotter contract expire instead renewing this year after the data revealed that it did not have any positive effect on crime reduction.

I think that's because our police force is incompetent though. Shotspotter may very well suck but if the police cant solve shit either way its not shotspotters fault. Murder has a 5% clearance rate here

It's true. They only have an 8% success rate on closing homocide cases. It is the lowest in the country by several points.

Are they incompetent or just aren't even trying? I ask myself this question all the time.
