SoundThinking Expands into Latin America with Launch of ShotSpotter in Montevideo, Uruguay
15 December 2023 - 12:30AM
SoundThinking, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSTI) (formerly ShotSpotter, Inc.), a
leading public safety technology company, today announced the
deployment of ShotSpotter, its industry-leading acoustic gunshot
detection system, in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. The
deployment marks the expansion of ShotShotter into the large Latin
American market.
“We’re excited to announce our partnership with SoundThinking
for the implementation of the ShotSpotter system in Montevideo,”
said Nicolás Martinelli, Minister of the Interior of Uruguay.
“Gunshot detection is a key part of our strategy for enhancing
public safety by promptly identifying gunshot sounds and enabling
quick police response. We believe this partnership will
complement our other violence reduction efforts and help make
communities safer.”
ShotSpotter will be integrated with existing technologies in
Montevideo that help police respond more effectively
to gun violence, including video cameras
and the city’s computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system.
The installment of the system is part of Uruguay’s comprehensive
approach to addressing growing gun violence among the approximately
1.38 million people residing in Montevideo. The deployment also
includes the rollout of a Spanish-language version of the
ShotSpotter InSight application to meet regional user needs.
“We are thrilled to bring SoundThinking’s public safety
technology to Latin America,” said Ralph Clark, President and CEO
of SoundThinking. “This deployment reflects our commitment to
providing innovative solutions for public safety in places that
need it, and our goal of making neighborhoods safer worldwide.”
