LMPD is spending $1.2 million per year on the shot spotter system that other cities say is nearly useless in making arrests for violent crimes. That's the same amount as the full pay, benefits, and pension payments for 10 officers working on a flex platoon that the Chief disbanded. The kicker is that it only covers 6 square miles and can't be moved without spending lots more money.
