Hi there! In receipt of your request for us to clarify and narrow our request.
It's our understanding that the East Chicago Police Department has a current contract with SoundThinking, Inc. (formerly ShotSpotter, Inc.) for its ShotSpotter technology. We're requesting a copy of the current contract that includes the expiration date. An example of a completed request from nearby South Bend is here for reference: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/south-bend-12747/shotspotter-contract-south-bend-police-department-131844/#files
