More than 72 percent of Chicago voters have expressed support for bringing back gunshot detection technology, nearly two years after the city ended its ShotSpotter program.
SoundThinking reported the results following a public debate on gun violence and emergency response, indicating significant community backing for the return of such systems. The outcome signals continued public interest in technological solutions for urban public safety.

SoundThinking’s ShotSpotter system has previously detected 83 gunshots in 15 minutes in Niteroi, Brazil, helping police arrest seven suspects and seize firearms, according to a recent report. The company’s technology has also been used by OCSheriff to connect a vehicle to a series of cell tower battery thefts spanning two counties, as detailed in another case. These events highlight ShotSpotter’s application in both gunshot detection and broader crime investigations.
