An interesting takeaway from this Police Research Hub article discussing the study "The Relative and Joint Effects of Gunshot Detection Technology and Video Surveillance Cameras on Case Clearance in Chicago" was the impact of Strategic Decision Support Centers (SDSCs). The study found that nonfatal shootings occurring in districts with an active SDSC had 19% higher odds of clearance in the gunshot detection technology model and 24% higher odds of clearance in the CCTV model. Chicago's SDSCs combine technology with dedicated staff, crime analysts, and structured investigative follow-up to work the leads generated by those systems. An interesting read for anyone interested in SDSCs, RTCCs, crime analysis, and evidence-based policing. https://lnkd.in/gaKbm575
