FOX 32 CHICAGO AND NATE, YESTERDAY'S MASS SHOOTING ON THE CTA IS REIGNITING THE DEBATE OVER TRANSIT SECURITY. JUST LAST WEEK, THE AGENCY ANNOUNCED A NEW AI GUN DETECTION SYSTEM, BUT IT WASN'T IN USE AT THE FOREST PARK STATION. POLITICAL REPORTER PARRISH JOINS US IN STUDIO WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT SAFETY AND SECURITY. PARIS. WELL, TERRENCE AND SYLVIA, THE CTA HAS TOUTED A $65.2 MILLION BUDGET THIS YEAR JUST FOR SECURITY. THAT MONEY IS INVESTED IN 33,000 SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, INCLUDING ONE AT EVERY STATION AND EVERY TRAIN CAR. CTA ALSO DEPLOYS 300 SECURITY GUARDS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM, AND THERE'S A DEDICATED UNIT OF CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO PATROL TRAINS AND BUSSES 24 OVER SEVEN. AND AS YOU MENTIONED, LAST WEEK, THE CTA ANNOUNCED A NEW TRIAL PROGRAM OF THIS AI TECHNOLOGY THAT PURPORTEDLY DETECTS GUNS THROUGH ITS VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM. BUT THAT SYSTEM WAS APPARENTLY NOT IN USE FOR THIS INCIDENT. NOW, CTA CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICER SAYS SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS DID HELP POLICE FIND SUSPECT RONNIE DAVIS. WE DID SUPPLY CAMERAS TO HELP IDENTIFY AND WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, OUR CAMERAS ARE REGULARLY UTILIZED. WE DO HAVE AN SDSC ROOM WITH THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT IS DEDICATED TO REVIEWING CAMERAS AND MAKING ARRESTS AND MONITORING THE SYSTEM, SO WE DO WORK CLOSELY WITH CPD, AND OUR CAMERAS WERE UTILIZED IN THAT INCIDENT TO HELP APPREHEND THE CRIMINAL. MEANWHILE, CTA PRESIDENT DORVAL CARTER, WHO IS NOTORIOUSLY HARD TO FIND, HAS NOT GIVEN A PRESS CONFERENCE OR TAKEN ANY MEDIA QUESTIONS SINCE THIS INCIDENT. HE DID ISSUE A STATEMENT LAST NIGHT CALLING IT A, QUOTE, HEINOUS ACT OF VIOLENCE, BUT SAYS
