The streets are an evolving challenge for Tucson Police . There’s more street racing and shootings where lots of shots are being fired. Now they’re turning to technology to help.Criminals are getting more brazen, blatant and dangerous.Besides extreme speeding, street racers are taking over major intersections for stunt sessions called sideshows, or street takeover s. As if that weren’t dangerous enough some of them bring guns—and use them.
TPD Captain Adam Kidd says, “So when we get information of some of these street racing or sideshow events, we can deploy some of the pan-tilt-zoom cameras, our license plate readers, the mobile shot spot detection devices, to not only help us in the investigative aspect but also as more of an early warning system when these incidents start popping up.”TPD is also a leader in analyzing the shell casings left behind at a shooting.
