ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 23, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- SoundThinking, Inc., a leading public safety technology provider, has announced the deployment of CrimeTracer 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 to identify and disrupt organized criminal networks, share intelligence, coordinate investigations and prosecutions, and reduce violent crime associated with gang activity. However, the information needed to support these 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 deployment is expected to help participating TAG Centers reduce time spent searching disparate systems, accelerate gang investigations, and strengthen coordination across jurisdictions.
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.
