The Maker of ShotSpotter Is Buying the World’s Most Infamous Predictive Policing Tech

The Maker of ShotSpotter Is Buying the World’s Most Infamous Predictive Policing Tech

SoundThinking, the company behind gunshot-detection system ShotSpotter, is acquiring staff, patents, and customers of Geolitica, the firm responsible for predictive policing software PredPol. SoundThinking's purchase of Geolitica allows it to offer a bundled suite of tools for policing, including crime-forecasting technology. The move marks a consolidation in the cop-tech industry and raises concerns about the future of predictive policing and the power dynamics between law enforcement and technology companies. Despite rebranding "predictive policing" as "resource management," SoundThinking's new app, ResourceRouter, performs similar functions as PredPol. Critics argue that such technology perpetuates biased policing patterns.
