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.
