Blue Line Solutions

What Blue Line Solutions does

Blue Line Solutions is a privately held US company headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee that manufactures and operates automated traffic enforcement systems for municipal, county, and state law enforcement agencies. Its portfolio spans seven enforcement modalities — Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE), Vehicle Based Enforcement (VBE), Red Light Enforcement (RLE), Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR), Mobile Trailer Enforcement (MTE), Hand Held Enforcement (HHE), and Excessive Noise Enforcement (ENE) — anchored on LiDAR-based speed detection, photo and video evidence capture, and a rear-of-vehicle privacy architecture. The company centralizes evidence review, citation approval, court processing, and data reporting through its NewGuard™ citation management platform.

The business model combines multi-year government service agreements, hardware and equipment sales, and managed citation processing services into a violator-funded pricing structure in which program costs are recovered through traffic fines rather than taxpayer budgets. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales targeting police chiefs, sheriffs, and municipal officials, with supporting channels including industry events, earned media, and content marketing. Visible customer deployments include agencies such as Savannah PD, Hollywood PD, New Kent County Sheriff's Office, Chatham County Sheriff's Office, South Fulton PD, Shreveport PD, Youngstown PD, Wartburg PD, Creston PD, and Smyth County Sheriff's Office, with association-level relationships spanning Georgia, Ohio, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Virginia. Reported customer outcomes include 90%+ average speed reduction and 35%+ crash reduction across deployed zones.

Operationally, the company runs lean at 51-100 employees, distributes exclusively through direct sales within the United States, and reports a product mix that targets three application zones: school zones, work zones, and high-risk corridors. Founder and CEO Mark Hutchinson is identified as the senior executive. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or M&A history in the source data.
