SoundThinking Signs Over $8 Million in New & Expansion Contracts for ShotSpotter and SafetySmart Tools
April 25 2023 - 8:30AM
SoundThinking, Inc., (Nasdaq: SSTI) (formerly ShotSpotter, Inc.), a
leading public safety technology company that combines data-driven
solutions and strategic advisory services for law enforcement and
community assistance groups, today announced more than $8 million
in new contracts and contract expansions. The largest of the new
customer contracts is a $4.7 million multi-year re-deployment of
ShotSpotter - SoundThinking’s flagship acoustic gunshot detection
system - in Suffolk County, New York.
Suffolk County’s original ShotSpotter deployment ended in
December 2018 after six years of service. Under the new contract,
ShotSpotter technology will be deployed across 22 square miles of
the county, almost three times the size of the county’s original
ShotSpotter deployment. The system is designed to alert law
enforcement to virtually all gunfire within the ShotSpotter
coverage area within 60 seconds, helping to reduce police response
times and save lives.
The re-deployment of ShotSpotter comes on the heels of a 2022
agreement by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office to adopt
CaseBuilder (formerly Investigate), SoundThinking’s centralized
cloud-based investigation management software that helps detectives
investigate crimes more efficiently and effectively. CaseBuilder
helps crime investigators by organizing and storing case
information, tracking and prioritizing assignments, and optimizing
resources.
“Bringing back ShotSpotter to Suffolk County was a Day 1
priority as part of a coordinated information-driven approach to
stopping gun violence,” said District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney.
“This technology will allow police to get to the scene much more
quickly following gunfire, which will save lives. Investigators
from my office and the SCPD will use ShotSpotter to solve crimes
and prevent future shootings. Every time a gun is fired illegally
in Suffolk County, we will investigate and find those who threaten
the safety of our citizens.”
Additional selected new contracts for SoundThinking also
include:
- A new two-year, $910,000 contract with the city of Erie in
Northwest Pennsylvania. ShotSpotter will be deployed across a six
square mile area of the city after unanimous approval from Erie’s
City Council.
- A new two-year, $434,000 contract with Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. The County District Attorney’s Office first adopted
CaseBuilder, which led to the agreement to deploy ShotSpotter in
Pottstown and Norristown, Pennsylvania.
- A three-year, $2.1 million expansion in Cleveland, Ohio. This
new phase covers an additional 10 square miles across the city,
representing a four-fold increase in ShotSpotter coverage. Over 33%
of the expansion miles have been taken live and are
operational.
Additionally, the previously-announced 31 square mile,
three-year, $7 million expansion in Detroit, representing a
five-fold increase of ShotSpotter coverage, has gone live. This
makes Detroit, with a total of 37 miles of coverage,
SoundThinking’s third largest ShotSpotter deployment behind Chicago
and New York City.
SoundThinking’s CEO Ralph Clark added: “We are very excited to
announce these new and expanded engagements and Detroit’s go-live
with our law enforcement partners in communities across the United
States. These communities have made the critical decision to make
their neighborhoods safer by equipping law enforcement with
cutting-edge technology that enables policing to be more efficient,
effective and equitable.”
