I don’t remember exactly but I think it was the result of a FOIA request to the Chicago Police Department. I would say that since so much time has passed the location information is unreliable.

Hey! Im working on a project to seek complex queries within crime rates and I choose the city of chicago! I was wondering if there is a data set that contains the location of all POD cameras and perhaps the time place to analyze how POD cameras have led to the reduction of crime rates or created hotspots outside of POD camera scope! Thanks

I only have the location data @chuerta018. You will probably need to submit new FOIA requests. However, the City of Chicago has a violence reduction dashboard, and the Chicago Office of Inspector General has a public safety dashboard.

I'm having issues looking for the particular department to submit the FOIA request, which department did you submit your FOIA request?!
