That is their way of justifying the spending of the peoples money that they don't yet have. Now they can feel so much safer so they will be more than happy to give the anti gun police farce more useless toys to play with. In order to continue with slow response times, the police will get to finish their doughnut before heading to a safe crime scene because they will know about where the shots came from.

You want to bash the Police Dept I'm sure there is an appropriate forum to do so.

As far as the details of what the Illegal gun was about I don't have them. Believe it or not there are a large number of stolen, defaced, straw purchased guns in the hands of criminals in Omaha.

I have lived in or near Omaha my entire life, owned weapons as soon as I could. And I have never once had a single issue with OPD. I have worked more than a decade at a local range and the number of people I have spoken to personally who have I can count on a couple of fingers.

I don't speak for the OPD admin but I can tell you that the Officers with whom I work with and those that are personal friends have no issues whatsoever with privately owned guns or CCW. What they do have a problem with are criminals. If you have a problem with any certain law that they have to enforce work to change it.

You don't like long response times, advise your city council person to support hiring more Officers instead of complaining anonymously on the internet. You are certainly free to take the test and give it a try if you think you could do it better.

My post was simply to give credit to the Shot Tracker system for doing exactly what it was designed to do. I wont engage any more posts that offer nothing constructive.

I have to go with Wes and Shawn on this one.  Anything that get the cops there in time to catch one criminal, medical there in time to save one life, or saves the life of one officer by warning him that there are folks shooting in the area, is worth the price.  Everything else is gravy, pure and simple. 

They are putting the devices in the area of town where most of the shooting occurs as far as I can tell, and it has nothing to do with if the shooter is white, black, or green with purple polka dots.  I have never been able to tell what the race of a shooter is by the sound of the shot.  Somehow I doubt these new devices can either.

Randy:
Thanks for the update Shawn.
