SoundThinking Announces ShotSpotter Renewal with New York Police Department

Summary: SoundThinking, Inc. today announced a multi-year renewal of its partnership with the New York Police Department for the deployment of ShotSpotter, the industry-leading acoustic gunshot detection system.

/EIN News/ -- FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoundThinking, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSTI), a leading public safety technology provider, today announced that the New York Police Department (NYPD) renewed its ShotSpotter acoustic gunshot detection service. The multi-year contract renewal is valued at approximately $21.8 million in aggregate.

Since it was first deployed in New York City in 2015, ShotSpotter has been an effective, accurate, and unbiased tool utilized by the NYPD to fill the gap in the amount of gunfire that goes unreported to 911, which can exceed 80% of total instances, according to independent research.

SoundThinking is contractually obligated to NYPD to maintain a 90% accuracy rate for the quick and precise triangulation of gunfire. In 2024, the average monthly accuracy rate was 94%.
