SoundThinking launches AI tool for gunshot detection customers
SoundThinking (SSTI) launched SafetySmart Field Agent, an AI tool for gunshot detection agencies. The tool allows real-time data analysis and reporting. It is free for up to 20 users per agency in the first year. Over 20 agencies tested it in beta. The company plans to integrate additional data sources and CrimeTracer by early 2027.
