GSX is always one of the highlights of my year. I truly enjoy reconnecting with colleagues and exploring the latest innovations and security trends. I find it fascinating how the atmosphere at the conference evolves from year to year. Some years, attendees are casually browsing technologies at the show. Other years, they are laser-focused on the sessions to learn about the latest trends. This year, the single word I would use to describe GSX is “intentional.” Attendees were there with purpose, seeking solutions and insights that will help them close the gap on the effective use of emerging security technologies and the delivery of verified crime intelligence to those responsible for protecting people, property, and communities.

One of the strongest themes throughout GSX 2025 was how organizations can transform growing volumes of security data into verified, actionable intelligence that supports better decision-making during active incidents. Those conversations reinforced that the future of security is not simply collecting more information, but ensuring the right intelligence reaches the people who can act on it.

In line with GSX’s theme, “First Line of Defense,” security professionals were searching for answers to questions like:

  • How can I harmonize my systems, so they function as a true ecosystem?
  • How can we use the info we collect to support informed decision-making during active incidents?
  • How can we deliver video the last mile to the people where it adds maximum value?

For decades, the focus has been on the most effective methods for searching, identifying, and retrieving video, security system data, and relevant exceptions. Video analytics and AI have now cracked the code on analyzing and pinpointing meaningful data. Today’s challenge is no longer simply detecting an event. It is determining how verified crime intelligence can be shared with the stakeholders who can help protect people, property, and communities while an incident is still unfolding.

At 3Si’s booth, security professionals were captivated by our DirectToDispatch™ which enable the sharing of verified alerts with actionable intelligence with law enforcement dispatch the moment a verified threat-to-property or life event is confirmed, whether it’s a GPS activation, live video feed, or a panic alarm. DirectToDispatch™ brings the right dispatch-ready intelligence at the right time to law enforcement, providing greater situational awareness before arrival and supporting informed response decisions while preserving established dispatch workflows.

The real breakthrough comes from how verified crime intelligence reaches those who can act on it. DirectToDispatch™ was built to close that gap and turn detection into immediate, actionable intelligence. DirectToDispatch™ ensures the right information is delivered directly to law enforcement and first responders. That same principle of intentional, instantaneous data flow drives 3Si’s broader ecosystem. From our GPS tracking solutions to our new dock door camera innovations, every 3Si solution is designed to push the right intelligence to the right hands — fast. Because technology only protects when it connects.

 

GSX Brought Together New Tools and New Insights

 

But law enforcement isn’t the only stakeholder. Through meaningful conversations on the exhibit floor, we learned that security professionals can use the same tool to solve everyday challenges, even outside of active crime events.

Many organizations struggle with complex systems that make sharing cases and intelligence cumbersome, especially across departments. Because the DirectToDispatch™ platform enables users to securely share and manage video content internally and externally, it unlocks new ways for security intelligence to be shared easily and confidentially.

From addressing operational inefficiencies and staffing issues to identifying safety hazards, security professionals can now flag video and related data for virtually any purpose and share internally. Consider, can you clearly show where guards are needed, whether protocols are being followed, and where hazards can be mitigated before they become losses? Security professionals made it clear that there is a growing need for systems that help organizations share verified intelligence across security, operations, and other departments, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency while working with existing systems and established workflows.

At 3Si, we’re always looking for ways to stay one step ahead of criminals. Our DirectToDispatch™ gives law enforcement the info they need as the crime unfolds, turning data into safer response for first responders. It started with our GPS tracking solutions, which have been helping recover stolen assets, arrest criminals, and keep our world safer for years. Today, by combining that proven tracking expertise with dispatch-ready intelligence, we’re helping organizations strengthen collaboration with law enforcement while supporting informed response decisions. Every technology improvement and advancement we make is to strengthen our mission to deliver the right information to the right people when it matters most.

Completely aligned with the intentional sentiment at GSX, we’re working alongside security professionals and law enforcement every day to help strengthen how verified intelligence is shared during active incidents. After all, security information is useless if it doesn’t effectively stop crime. We’ve accomplished a great deal in 2025 and are pushing hard in this final quarter to lay the groundwork for even more advancements in 2026. If you’re focused on where the rubber meets the road in terms of getting your security data in the hands of the right people, let’s have a conversation!

FAQ

What is GSX?

GSX (Global Security Exchange) is one of the security industry’s leading conferences, bringing together security professionals, technology providers, law enforcement, and public safety leaders to explore emerging technologies, security trends, and best practices for protecting people, property, and critical infrastructure.
 

What were the key security trends discussed at GSX 2025?

One of the strongest themes at GSX 2025 was the growing need to transform security data into verified crime intelligence and dispatch-ready intelligence. As organizations continue adopting AI, video analytics, and connected security technologies, the focus is shifting toward delivering actionable intelligence that supports informed decision-making during active incidents.
 

What is crime intelligence in modern security?

Crime intelligence is verified information that provides situational context during an active incident, helping organizations and law enforcement make informed decisions. When delivered through established dispatch workflows, verified crime intelligence helps improve situational awareness and supports more effective coordination during incidents requiring law enforcement response.
 

Why is dispatch-ready intelligence becoming more important?

As security technologies generate more data than ever before, organizations need effective ways to ensure verified crime intelligence reaches the people who can act on it during active incidents. Delivering dispatch-ready intelligence helps improve situational awareness, supports informed response decisions, and strengthens collaboration between private security teams and law enforcement while working alongside established public safety workflows.
