We have ShotSpotter in the 11th ward. My community wants ShotSpotter to continue to be a tool that the police can use. Every police officer that I talked to in the 9th district says the same thing. I happen to have, unfortunately, had a death in my ward. I was not in my ward, but a 53-year- old man, married with a family, who happened to fill in for a delivery driver at the restaurant that he manages, was delivering food in Inglewood. And, in an attempted carjacking, was shot and ultimately killed. There was not one 911 call that was placed for that man. ShotSpotter brought the police and EMTs over there.
