Customer agrees to provide reasonable assistance to SoundThinking in obtaining such permission. SoundThinking owns and is responsible for maintenance of the Sensors.
C. The ShotSpotter System acoustic Sensor may use wired, wireless, or cellular wireless communications which necessitates the existence of a real-time data communications channel from each Sensor to the SoundThinking hosted servers via a commercial carrier. The unavailability or deterioration of the quality of such wired, wireless, or wireless cellular communications may impact the ability of SoundThinking to provide the Subscription Services. In such circumstances SoundThinking will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain alternate wired or wireless cellular communications or adjust the Coverage Area as necessary. In the event SoundThinking is unable to do so, SoundThinking will terminate the ShotSpotter Subscription Services and refund a pro-rata portion of the annual Subscription Services fee to Customer.

Copyright © 2026 SoundThinking, Inc. – Confidential
All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States
detected and located, audio from the incident is sent to SoundThinking’s Incident Review Center (IRC) via secure, high-speed network connections for real-time qualification. Within seconds, a SoundThinking professional reviewer analyzes audio data and recordings to confirm gunfire or explosions. The qualified alert is then sent directly to the Customer’s dispatch center, PSAP, mobile/patrol officers, and any other relevant safety or security personnel, as determined by the Customer. The SoundThinking IRC will review gunfire incidents as further defined in Attachment A.
G. The ShotSpotter Subscription Services shall consist of (i) providing access to the Customer of Reviewed Alerts delivered via the Insight password-protected internet portal and user interface supplied by SoundThinking; (ii) providing Customer access to historical Reviewed Alerts and incident information via the ShotSpotter Software; and (iii) other services as specified in this Agreement and its Attachment A.

These requests may be made to SoundThinking through one of the following methods: 1) email to [email protected]; 2) Live Chat through the ShotSpotter Subscription Services applications: 3) A phone call to SoundThinking’s Customer Support organization at 888.274.6877, option 4.

The ILS is very valuable on scene, and may help law enforcement find shell casings, confirm witness accounts, and streamline investigations. ILS reports are available immediately after an incident occurs via the mobile, web, or desktop ShotSpotter application. The machine- generated ILS is primarily intended as an investigative aid rather than courtroom evidence. However, SoundThinking does offer Certified Business Records of ILS reports, which may be useful in court for limited purposes, without the need to call a witness.

ii. Detailed Forensic Report (“DFR”). If requested by Customer, SoundThinking will provide a DFR for any ShotSpotter-detected incidents, including Reviewed Alerts. The DFR is intended to be a court-admissible document used by attorneys as part of a court case for the exact, verified timing, sequence and location of each shot fired. Secondarily, the DFR is available for use by law enforcement to obtain a search warrant or to investigate an Officer Involved Shooting.
DFRs must be requested in writing and addressed to the SoundThinking Customer Support Department. Requests may be submitted via the Forensics Services page under the Law Enforcement tab on SoundThinking’s website (www.soundthinking.com). SoundThinking will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a DFR within ten (10) business days of receipt of the request.
J. EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES.
SoundThinking offers reasonable expert witness services, including Reviewed Alerts. While forensic support is generally provided at no charge, other than Customer reimbursement for actual and reasonable travel and lodging costs, the Parties agree that unusually frequent, time- consuming, or complex requests may require compensation at a rate of $350 per hour, or the maximum rate allowed by law for Expert Witness testimony. If requested to provide such services by Customer, SoundThinking will invoice the Customer for the number of hours expended to prepare for and provide expert witness testimony upon completion of the services. Customer understands that SoundThinking undertakes to provide individuals whose qualifications are sufficient for such services, but does not warrant that any person or his or her opinion will be accepted by every court. SoundThinking requires at least fourteen (14) days prior notice of such a requirement in writing from the Customer. Customer must include dates, times, specific locations, and a point of contact for SoundThinking personnel. Due to the nature of legal proceedings, SoundThinking cannot guarantee that its services described in this section shall produce the outcome, legal or otherwise, which Customer desires. Payment for expert witness services described shall be due and payable when services are rendered and invoiced regardless of the outcome of the proceedings.

ATTACHMENT A – SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
ShotSpotter® Gunshot Detection, Location System
Reviewed Alert Service Levels
Summary
SoundThinking commits to meet or exceed the following Service Level Agreement (SLA) standards as it provides its ShotSpotter Gunshot Location Services 1:
Service SLA and Measurement
Gunshot Detection
& Location
90% of unsuppressed, outdoor gunfire incidents, using standard, commercially available rounds greater than .25 caliber, inside the Coverage Area will be detected and located within 25 meters of the actual gunshot location.
Reviewed Alerts 90% of gunshot incidents will be reviewed and published in less than 60 seconds.
Service Availability The ShotSpotter Gunshot Location System service will be available to the Customer 99.9% of the time with online access to ShotSpotter data, excluding scheduled maintenance windows.
Gunshot Detection & Location Performance
The ShotSpotter System will detect and accurately locate to within 25 meters of the actual gunshot location 90% of unsuppressed, outdoor gunshots fired inside the contracted coverage area using standard, commercially available rounds greater than .25 caliber.
Reviewed Alerts Service
SoundThinking’s real-time Incident Review Center (IRC) will review at least 90% of all gunfire incidents within 60 seconds. This human review is intended to confirm or change the machine classification of the incident type, and, depending on the reviewer’s confidence level that the incident is or may be gunfire, will result in an alert (“Reviewed Alert”) sent to the Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car mobile data terminals (MDT), and officer smartphones (via the ShotSpotter App), based on the following c riteria:
Incident Type Action
High confidence incident is gunfire Reviewed Gunfire Alert, (Single Gunshot “SG” or Multiple Gunshots “MG”) sent to Customer’s
dispatch center, patrol car mobile data terminals
(MDT), and officer smartphones (via the
ShotSpotter App)
Uncertain if incident is gunfire or not Reviewed Probable Gunfire (“PG”) Alert sent to Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and
officer smartphones
Low confidence incident is gunfire No alert will be sent; incident available for Customer review in the incident history available
through Insight
1 See attached “ShotSpotter – Definition of Key Terms” for a complete definition of terms associated with this SLA and further details in the expanded definitions listed below the Summary. The basis for this SLA and performance measurement will be total gunshot incidents as defined by the Definition of Key Terms.
SHOTSPOTTER SERVICES AGREEMENT ǀ Page 20 of 22
Copyright © 2026 SoundThinking, Inc. – Confidential
All rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States
Reviewed Alerts are sent to the Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and officer smartphones.
Information in a Reviewed Alert will include the following:
• “Dot on the map” with latitude and longitude indicating the location of the incident. • Parcel address closest to location of the incident.
• When available, additional situational awareness data points may be included, such as:
o Qualitative data on the type/severity of incident: Fully automatic, High Capacity o Other comments (if any)
The ShotSpotter App, and Insight provide the Customer with full and immediate access to incident history including information SoundThinking uses in its internal review process. This information includes, among other things, the initial incident classification and any reclassifications of an incident, incident audio wave forms, and incident audio files. This data access is available as long as the Customer is under active subscription.
Service Availability
The ShotSpotter System 2 will be able to detect gunfire and available to users with online access to ShotSpotter data 99.9% of the time, on a 24x7 by 365 day per year basis, excluding: a) scheduled maintenance periods which will be announced to Customer in advance; b) select holidays; and c) third party network outages beyond SoundThinking’s control.
Customer SLA Credits
Each Service Level measurement shall be determined quarterly, the results of which will be reviewed during the periodic account review meetings with Customer. For each calendar quarter that SoundThinking does not meet at least two of the three above standards, a fee reduction representing one free week of service (for the affected Coverage Area) for each missed quarter shall be included during a future Customer renewal.
Service Level Exclusions and Modifications
SoundThinking takes commercially reasonable efforts to maintain Service Levels at all times. However, Service Level performance during New Year’s Eve and Independence Day and the 48-hour periods before and after these holidays, are specifically excluded from Service Level standards. During these excluded periods, because of the large amount of fireworks activity, SoundThinking uses fireworks suppression techniques3.
The SoundThinking sensors send incident information to the SoundThinking cloud via third party cellular, wireless or wired networks. SoundThinking is not responsible for outages on the third-party networks.
2 ShotSpotter Subscription Service includes all database, applications, and communications services hosted by SoundThinking, Inc. at our data center and specifically exclude Customer’s internal network or systems or 3rd party communications networks, e.g. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint/T-Mobile, or Customer’s Internet Service Provider. 3 SoundThinking will put the ShotSpotter System into "fireworks suppression mode" during this period in order to reduce the non-gunfire incidents required for human classification. SoundThinking will formally inform the Customer prior to the System being placed in fireworks suppression mode and when the mode is disabled. While in fireworks suppression mode, the incident alerts determined to be fireworks are not sent to the reviewer nor the Customer dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and officer smartphones; however, these non-gunfire incidents will continue to be stored in the database for use if required at a later time.

Service Failure Notification
Should SoundThinking identify any condition (disruption, degradation or failure of network, cloud, servers, sensors etc.) that impacts SoundThinking’s ability to meet the Gunshot Detection & Location standard (above), SoundThinking will proactively notify the Customer with: a) a brief explanation of the condition; b) how the Customer’s service is affected; and c) the approximate timeframe for resolution. SoundThinking will also notify the Customer once any such condition is resolved.
Customer Responsibilities
The purpose of the Reviewed Alert service is to provide incident data to the Customer, reviewed, analyzed and classified in the manner described above. However, it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to interpret the data provided, and to determine any appropriate follow-up reaction or response, including whether or not to dispatch emergency responder resources based on a Reviewed Alert. SoundThinking does not assume any obligation, duty or responsibility for reaction, response, or dispatch decisions, which are solely and exclusively the responsibility of Customer, or for the consequences or outcomes of any decisions made or not made by the Customer in reliance, in whole or in part, on any services provided by SoundThinking.
C
ustomer must inform SoundThinking when Verified Incidents of gunfire are missed by the ShotSpotter System in order to properly calculate Performance Rate, as defined below.
Customer is responsible for providing any required workstations, mobile devices and internet access for the Customer’s dispatch center, patrol car MDTs, and officer smartphones, or Insight.

ShotSpotter – Definition of Key Terms
The ShotSpotter System will provide data for correct detection and accurate location for ninety percent (90%) of detectable (outdoor, unsuppressed) community gunfire which occurs within a coverage area, the “Coverage Area”, provided the measurement is Statistically Significant, as defined below. This performance rate shall be calculated as a percentage as follows:
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃 =
𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁
(𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 + 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 + 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁) where the “Performance Rate” is a number expressed as a percentage, “NumberAccuratelyLocated” is the number of “Gunfire Incidents” occurring within the Coverage Area during the specified period for which the ShotSpotter System produced an Accurate Location, NumberMislocated is the number of Verified Incidents (a “Verified Incident” is an incident where Customer has physical or other credible evidence that gunfire took place) for which the ShotSpotter System produced an inaccurate location (i.e., a Mislocated Incident), and NumberNotDetected is the number of Verified Incidents for which the ShotSpotter System failed to report a location at all (i.e., Missed Incidents).
An “Accurate Location” shall mean an incident located by the ShotSpotter System to a latitude/longitude coordinate that lies within a 25-meter radius of the confirmed shooter’s location (25 meters = approximately 82 feet). “Detectable Gunfire” incidents are unsuppressed discharges of ballistic firearms which occur fully outdoors in free space (i.e. not in doorways, vestibules, windows, vehicles, etc.) using standard commercially available rounds of caliber greater than .25.
ShotSpotter Review Period is measured as the period commencing when the Incident Review Center (IRC) receives the alert and the first audio download to the time it is published to the customer.
ShotSpotter System performance is guaranteed after a “Statistically Significant” set of incidents has been detected in accordance with timeframes set forth herein, and commercial system acceptance, if applicable.
The ShotSpotter System is designed to detect gunfire which is typically well distributed throughout the Coverage Area; however, performance should not be construed to mean that 90% of gunfire fired at any given location within the Coverage Area will be detected and located within the guaranteed accuracy.
The ShotSpotter System is not a “point protection” system and is therefore not designed to consistently detect gunfire at every single location within the Coverage Area, but rather to Accurately Locate 90% of the Detectable Incidents in aggregate throughout the entire Coverage Area. There may be certain locations within the Coverage Area where obstacles and ambient noise impede and/or overshadow the propagation of acoustic energy such that locating the origin at those positions is inconsistent or impossible. The Performance Rate calculation is thus specifically tied to the Community Gunfire across the entire Coverage Area.

EXHIBIT G
SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).
Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”). Contractor understands the meaning of the following terms used in the SCCO:
a. "Data Broker” means either of the following:
i. The collection of information, including personal information about consumers, from a wide variety of sources for the purposes of reselling such information to their customers, which include both private-sector business and government agencies;
ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."
Contractor understands that it is not eligible to receive or retain a City contract if at the time the Contract is executed, or at any time during the term of the Contract, it provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to ICE.
Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.
By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing. Any person or entity who knowingly or willingly supplies false information in violation of the SCCO shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a $1,000 fine.
Based on the foregoing, the undersigned declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.
