Largest CrimeTracer deal to date will connect investigative intelligence across up to 10 Texas Anti-Gang Centers to help uncover relationships, develop leads and accelerate investigations

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SoundThinking, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSTI), a leading public safety technology provider, today announced that CrimeTracer is being deployed to support up to 10 law enforcement agencies participating in the Texas Anti-Gang (TAG) Program. The agreement represents the largest deal in CrimeTracer’s history and will expand access to connected investigative intelligence across the TAG network, enabling participating Centers to search law enforcement data across jurisdictional boundaries and uncover relationships that might otherwise remain hidden.

The TAG program physically establishes regional collocated operational centers where local police, sheriffs, DPS and district attorneys work side-by-side with the aim to identify and disrupt organized criminal networks, share intelligence, coordinate investigations and prosecutions, and reduce violent crime associated with gang activity. But the information needed to support those investigations often resides in separate records management systems, arrest databases, jail records and incident reports across different jurisdictions. Investigators can spend hours manually searching these systems to piece together evidence and connections.

CrimeTracer delivers connected investigative intelligence, enabling investigators to search more than 1 billion CJIS-compliant law enforcement records from across the US in seconds. With more than 50 data types, 3,000 data sources and records spanning more than 2,100 agencies, CrimeTracer is designed to help investigators identify known gang affiliations and associations, reveal hidden connections between suspects, vehicles and locations, and support faster case development and prosecutions.

“The Texas Anti-Gang Program (TAG) seeks to strengthen coordination and collaboration among law enforcement agencies across Texas’s major corridors,” said Jose Morales, San Antonio TAG Administrator. “Through the development of strong interagency partnerships, the TAG Centers aim to enhance information sharing, improve operational coordination, and promote a more effective and efficient response to gang-related activity and violent crime. These collaborative efforts are intended to strengthen public safety and make Texas communities safer. Connecting in a statewide approach is essential because gang activity and violent crime often extend beyond the boundaries of a single jurisdiction and law enforcement agencies must work together to share information and pursue investigative leads across jurisdictions to accomplish that mission. Connecting information across participating TAG Centers gives investigators a more complete picture and supports coordinated investigations achieving better results.”

The deployment is expected to help participating TAG Centers reduce time spent searching disparate systems, accelerate gang investigations and strengthen coordination across jurisdictions.

“Criminal activity doesn’t stop at jurisdictional boundaries, but the information investigators need is often fragmented across agencies and systems,” said Ralph Clark, CEO of SoundThinking. “CrimeTracer connects that information, helping investigators uncover relationships and develop leads across jurisdictions in seconds. The Texas Anti-Gang deployment shows what becomes possible when investigative intelligence is connected across agencies and jurisdictions at scale.”

The TAG expansion builds on CrimeTracer’s existing deployments supporting Harris County and the City of Houston. CrimeTracer already included more than 75 million Texas law enforcement records before this expansion. The deployment is funded through a TAG grant from the Texas Office of the Governor and marks a significant expansion of CrimeTracer’s footprint in Texas.

CrimeTracer is part of SoundThinking’s broader SafetySmart platform, which helps public safety agencies connect data and intelligence from detection through investigation and decision-making.

New evidence integrity, outcomes and auditing capabilities build on patented incident-based retention technology to strengthen privacy and accountability

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SoundThinking, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSTI), a leading public safety technology provider, today announced new evidence integrity, outcomes and auditing capabilities for PlateRanger™, powered by Rekor^®. The enhancements build on PlateRanger’s incident-based data retention technology, offered for the past two years and now backed by a U.S. patent awarded to Rekor in March 2026.

License plate recognition provides significant investigative value, but agencies and communities increasingly expect stronger safeguards governing what vehicle data is retained, how long it is kept and how it is used. PlateRanger is built on a simple premise: not every plate read needs to be treated the same.

PlateRanger allows agencies to establish retention periods based on the investigative relevance of vehicle data. For example, routine plate reads could be automatically deleted after just two days, while records associated with stolen vehicles, AMBER Alerts or other qualifying investigative activity could be retained for 90 days or longer, according to agency-defined policies. Rekor’s patented technology enables this differentiated retention based on the severity of suspected criminal activity.

By limiting unnecessary retention of data about everyday drivers while preserving valuable investigative information, we believe PlateRanger helps agencies balance public safety with privacy and community trust. Importantly, PlateRanger data is always owned by the agency—not the technology provider. Each agency controls its data-sharing policies, including which partners can access information and whether to participate in broader sharing networks.

“In Bellflower, we expect our public safety technology to be both effective and responsible,” said Brian McNerney, Director of Public Safety for the City of Bellflower, CA. “PlateRanger has helped our law enforcement partner, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, identify vehicles involved in street racing and street takeovers, which put lives at risk in our neighborhoods. But protecting our community also means respecting the privacy of people going about their daily lives, and the system lets the Sheriff’s Department do both. That’s how we earn and keep our residents’ trust.”

As generative AI and synthetic media raise new questions about digital evidence, law enforcement agencies increasingly need ways to verify that video footage is authentic. GoSecure, an upcoming capability for PlateRanger Edge Max cameras and cameras powered by Axis Agent, will cryptographically authenticate video at the point of capture, helping investigators and prosecutors establish confidence in its integrity.

PlateRanger Outcomes, now available, connects LPR alerts to measurable results, including arrests, recovered vehicles and cases assisted. An agency-wide dashboard helps supervisors assess the system’s contribution to investigations and public safety, providing greater visibility into the value of their LPR deployments.

Enhanced auditing capabilities give agencies greater visibility into how PlateRanger is used, including administrative and configuration activity. These enhancements build on existing safeguards such as role-based access, search justification and audit trails, helping agencies monitor system use and demonstrate adherence to their policies.

“The debate around license plate recognition is too often framed as public safety versus privacy. It doesn’t have to be,” said Ralph Clark, President and CEO of SoundThinking. “Routine vehicle data with no investigative relevance shouldn’t be retained unnecessarily, while information tied to legitimate public safety needs should remain available to investigators. We believe responsible LPR means more than protecting data. It also means ensuring evidence integrity, demonstrating measurable outcomes and giving agencies transparency and control over how the technology is used.”

Attendees at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Annual Conference and Exposition in Orlando, Fla., can learn more about PlateRanger at Booth 1109 during the exposition, Oct. 25–27, 2026. Agencies can also request a demonstration at SoundThinking.com.
