Netwatch, known for its AI-enabled proactive video monitoring, has partnered with 3Si Security Systems to integrate its service with 3Si’s DirectToDispatch™ (DTD) platform. The goal: deliver verified video and location intelligence directly to law enforcement in real time, trimming down response lag and boosting officer safety.

In practical terms, that means dispatchers and first responders won’t just get a call about “a break-in.” They’ll see validated video, paired with precise location data, before they even arrive at the scene.

Smarter, Faster, Safer

“This partnership is about giving first responders the information they need when every second matters,” said Netwatch CEO Kurt Takahashi. By combining visuals with geolocation, officers can walk into a situation already knowing what to expect — a huge leap from traditional “blind” dispatching.

For 3Si customers, the deal also unlocks access to Netwatch’s live intervention monitoring, where trained operators detect and deter suspicious activity in real time. The joint solution aims to mitigate threats, reduce theft, and improve operational control for businesses, while providing law enforcement with clearer, faster intel.

Meeting Modern Policing Challenges

The timing isn’t accidental. Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. face shrinking budgets, staff shortages, and increasingly complex threats. “Access to real-time, verified intelligence is more essential than ever,” said 3Si CEO Matt Kushner. By streamlining how intelligence flows to dispatchers, the companies argue they’re helping agencies do more with less while keeping officers safer.

Industry Context

The partnership reflects a growing trend: security tech companies are moving beyond prevention and into intelligence-sharing ecosystems. With AI-driven monitoring, automated alerts, and direct-to-dispatch integrations, the security industry is increasingly bridging the gap between private systems and public response. Rivals like Motorola Solutions and Axon have been pushing similar integrations — and now, Netwatch and 3Si are signaling they don’t plan to be left behind.

If the collaboration delivers, it could reshape expectations for how private security providers support law enforcement, particularly in high-risk environments where seconds matter.
