SoundThinking, Inc.

Lobbying client

SoundThinking, Inc. is the renamed ShotSpotter, Inc., a publicly traded public-safety technology company that makes the ShotSpotter acoustic gunshot-detection system used by the NYPD since 2015. In February 2025 the city renewed its ShotSpotter contract, and the NYC Comptroller's office later declined to register the renewal over procurement rule issues, after a 2024 audit found most alerts could not confirm a shot had been fired. It filed 3 lobbying disclosures in 2024, registered citywide across all 51 council districts through Bolton-St. Johns, on public-safety technology outreach to the mayor's office.

subjects from their filings

City contracts

Registered city contracts, largest first by current contract value (not amount spent): running now, then registered to start later, then ended. Totals count every registered contract. Each line shows its Checkbook contract ID. The tag on each row is how it was awarded (“no-bid” = non-competitive).

Largest payments, by purpose

The organization's largest individual city payments (roughly $25,000 and up), grouped by purpose, to show what recent money was for. This is NOT a total — smaller payments aren't listed; see “Paid to date” above for the complete amount paid against its contracts. Fiscal years 2020 and later.
