  10. #DigitalFourth has heard from Cambridge, MA City Council, that the civic assembly on #ShotSpotter will be run by City Manager Yi-An Huang.

    It has been clear from the Council hearings on ShotSpotter that Huang supports the technology, as is the Cambridge Police Department. It's therefore important to make sure that Huang knows that Cambridge residents want experts with knowledge of ShotSpotter's limitations to be present, and people who can speak to the #surveillance implications.

  15. Some details about Cambridge, MA's civic assembly on #ShotSpotter still are not clear. It isn't clear how the representative lottery will work (are they only selecting randomly from those who sign up to participate, or are they going to try to select in a demographically and geographically representative way?), and it isn't clear what experts will be allowed to speak to the members selected for the assembly.

"Contrary to claims that ShotSpotter gets officers to the scene faster, a University of Chicago analysis of response-time data found the opposite: in the Chicago neighborhoods that used to have ShotSpotter, police response times to high-priority calls got faster, not slower, after the system was removed — improving by roughly four minutes on average."
