“ShotSpotters is supposed to help police pinpoint the exact location of gunfire. ”
“Anything that we can do to help curve crime, I support,” said Cleveland resident Leon Stevenson.Stevenson has been living in Cleveland off and on for more than 60 years, with his roots first beginning on 113th Street and St. Clair.A place he tells News 5’s Remi Murrey once filled the city with vibrancy is now unrecognizable in his eyes.
On 113th and St. Clair, there are homes and even a high school, but those visiting will also find several memorials because as Councilman Kevin Conwell puts it, crime is a big issue in his ward, and he wants something done.“As you saw on 113th, we have all these memorials, and they’re all over Cleveland and we need a way to comfort these mothers,” said Stevenson.
Now in a new agenda ahead of Wednesday’s safety committee meeting, city leaders hope to extend and expand their existing ShotSpotter license to 33% of Cleveland’s population in neighborhoods like Glenville and Collinwood where gun violence is an issue. “When the bad guys find out that we know exactly where they’re shooting from, I feel it will slow it down,” said Conwell.“I think one of the first things when you’re talking about gunshot technology, gunshot detection technology, is ‘is it effective in the first place,” said ACLU Spokesperson Gary Daniels.“This is not something that Cleveland and other communities should be pursuing. We keep trying to approach these types of problems that concern everybody.
