Interesting. Now I'm really interested in this subject I should talk to some of the people I know in Chicago who work with policing data about it. They might have some insight.

Though I guess this is probably good motivation to go to one of the Chi Hack Nights, because I'm sure if someone there doesn't know how Chicago is using the ShotSpotter data, they probably know how to find out.

I wish they would at least open up the APIs to the public... mostly so I can use it to track down people setting off fireworks and personally go yell at them. So maybe that's a bad idea.
