    Detroit City Council approves 9-month ShotSpotter extension after heated 5-4 vote

    Detroit City Council approved a nine-month extension of the ShotSpotter contract in a 5-4 vote, amid debates over its $2 million cost, public safety benefits, and privacy concerns. Opponents cited surveillance and racial targeting, while supporters highlighted its role in locating shooting victims, including a case where it helped save a 7-year-old boy. Critics questioned the system's effectiveness, citing low arrest rates following alerts, while community groups argued it aids in directing non-police interventions.
