Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today.

Before I report on the company's Q4 fiscal year 2022 outcomes and our fiscal year 2023 outlook, I want to first start by expressing my gratitude for being entrusted to lead this incredible company on a remarkable journey in engaging local law enforcement agencies in their digital transformation.

We have assembled a powerful suite of complementary solutions in a precision policing platform that agencies are demanding in their pursuit of driving smarter, more efficient, effective and equitable policing strategies. Our opportunity remains significantly attractive and underpenetrated despite some selected headline noise from a vocal, but increasingly discredited defund the police movement.

We continue to see success because of the strong support from community residents, their elected officials and our buying center of local police departments that understand and appreciate the value of investing in technology in order to drive better community-focused public safety outcomes.
