"ShotSpotter congratulates Mayor Johnson on his win," Clark said. "We are immensely proud of the work we have done within the city of Chicago, and we are optimistic that we can continue our relationship with this great city and support Mayor Johnson and his administration. Over the years, ShotSpotter has worked to alert law enforcement to gunfire incidents that would otherwise go unreported, save lives, and enhance community trust in Chicago and other partnering cities. We are hopeful that we can demonstrate how ShotSpotter can best provide value to Chicago, and how it can be a vital component of Mayor Johnson’s holistic strategy in addressing gun violence."
