TAMPA, FL – 01/29/2019 – SOMA Global, a leading provider of Public Safety as a Service (PSAAS™), has reached a definitive agreement to deploy their advanced Records Management Platform and Mobile Dispatch Applications to the City of Richmond Police Department.

- Multi-jurisdictional and advanced data sharing features for a complete operating picture; and
- Advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms for smart policing.
“The SOMA Global partnership replaces an aging system with the most modern technology on the market. Richmond PD plans to lead the state in policing and public safety technology with SOMA as our partner. With their extensive experience in law enforcement and public safety, we are confident that SOMA and their advanced technology platform will provide the ideal solution for us,” said Pierre Redding, Technology Manager, RMS and Mobility Solutions.
“We are focused on providing next-generation crime fighting tools that protect our officers and help save more lives.” said Nick Stohlman, SOMA Co-Founder. “Richmond PD joins us in that vision and we are excited to provide our services to their LEOs.”
In the new partnership, Richmond PD and SOMA plan to host regional workshops in Virginia to share implementation plans more deeply and allow other State agencies to learn more about the project and how they can participate. The goal is to promote and expand data sharing statewide on SOMA’s advanced platform.
