SoundThinking expands into Latin America with launch of ShotSpotter in Uruguay

SoundThinking announced the deployment of ShotSpotter 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 Nicolas 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 system.
