Mayor Brandon Johnson on the Soldier Field game day traffic: "Let me tell you how bad it is — Bears vs. Packers, I'm at the game, we're losing. I decide to leave to beat the traffic. Before I get out of the footprint, the Bears had come back to win."
Sustained staffing continues to be a problem in forensic/crime labs across the country.
Nice to see jurisdictions trying new things to build a workforce pipleine.

I understand it’s “best practice,” but it kinda feels like a scam when you’re advised to save your phone’s battery by charging it to only 80 or 85%.
By default, then, you are already operating on a subpar level - i.e., 80 or 85% battery before the battery has even degraded.

In light of some recent conversations about ROI-focused nonprofits and philanthropy, I'm planning to highlight some of my team's current investments. For example: Nonprofits that @CJ_at_AV supports that are doing great, high-impact work and (IMO) deserve more funding. And how I think about making catalytic investments in the public safety space.
Interested in particular topics? Let me know!
Three days. Meaningful conversations. Innovative ideas. Shared learning.

Exciting to see this development in @MinneapolisPD@CityMinneapolis.
In many places, nonfatal shootings don’t get the same resources or priority for response/investigation as homicides despite the difference often being a matter of inches, not to mention a chain reaction that can lead to homicides. As a result, they are far likely to be solved.
Dedicated nonfatal shooting units have been showing promising results in improving solve rates and safety. It’s important to keep innovating and evaluating.

This is a common issue in towns and cities across America. Rigorous evidence is clear that Summer Youth Employment Programs work to reduce violence and crime not only for the summer months but at least 18 months after. They are not just about keeping young people busy but giving them networks and experiences to change course.
The impetus for summer programming is great - now let’s do the kind proven to work.

It’s a weird thing when you walk into a food/drink shop and place an order, and no one else is there, and yet you stand there waiting 15+ minutes watching them fill dozens of online orders.
Seems like the systems should prioritize walk in customers. But what am I missing?
