Call for hearing(s) on gun violence reduction and ongoing violence-prevention efforts
The May 22, 2024 resolution by the Chicago City Council requests the Committee on Public Safety to examine gun-violence reduction initiatives, including Ceasefire, Shotspotter, and violence-prevention organizations like Communities Partnering for Peace, Chicago CRED, and READ! Chicago. The Johnson administration's Shotspotter contract non-renewal, CPD's response times, and a requested DHS investigation into Shotspotter funding's potential Title VI violations are also highlighted.
