WORCESTER After hearing a raft of concerns from the public about a planned expansion of the Police Department s ShotSpotter program, the City Council voted Tuesday to split the item to give new technology included with the upgrade a more public airing.
Councilors overwhelmingly supported an expansion of existing ShotSpotter technology, which detects gunshots and leads police to their source. The program has been in use across six square miles of the city for the past seven years.
