If the client doesn't want confidentality and Wynyard doesn't have an embargo on their name being used then there is no issue really. Might just be the status quo with Wynyard to stamp "confidential" on it, unless stated otherwise.

WYN has offices in London, no? But yes, I do agree $3.2M is a bit over the top for a county sheriff's office! Never know with them 'Merikans though

not sure - some of these sheriff offices are quite big. Think hundreds or thousands of staff. This particular sheriffs office (Marion County) has 1100 employees: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_..._%28Indiana%29
They are well able to pay millions of dollars for crucial equipment.

My assumption was that this is one of the (hopefully many) contracts too small to warrant disclosure. Nice to get a bit more context though, albeit from a third party.
An aside, the 'the Felony Lane Gang Working Group, comprising 92 law enforcement agencies' has been formed to fight a gang of 100 thieves. That's almost 1:1 agencies (not even personnel) vs criminals, at-least in NZ at worst we have Police and Customs. All the more opportunities for contracts for WYN I suppose....

The AMA on NBR confirmed that they dont disclose all new contracts, just large ones, ones in new areas and only where the customer approves.
I think he was on TV news (TV3) this morning talking about this among other things.

Good video link on TV3 with CEO explaining how they go about securing contracts, very refreshing

Coverage on RadioNZ news today as well, talking about Wynyards software helping the agencies fight the 'Lane Gang' as per bmrm's post earlier.
