SoundThinking, Inc. announced on October 21, 2024, a new three-year agreement with the Ministry of Interior of Uruguay to significantly expand ShotSpotter's coverage in Montevideo. This contract will double the current deployment footprint by adding an extra 12 square kilometers of gunshot detection system coverage. The expansion builds on the successful initial deployment of ShotSpotter in Montevideo since December 2023.
Nicolás Martinelli, Minister of the Interior of Uruguay, expressed satisfaction with ShotSpotter's positive results since its initial implementation. He stated that this expansion will strengthen the city's ability to protect citizens in communities affected by gun violence. The agreement underscores the Ministry's confidence in ShotSpotter's proven ability to enhance public safety and save lives.
This expansion marks another significant milestone in SoundThinking’s growth across Latin America, where its advanced technology is being trusted to address critical public safety challenges. The rollout of a localized Spanish-language version of the ShotSpotter InSight application further supports this international momentum. This strategic move positions SoundThinking for continued growth in the region.
