CentralSquare Technologies Wins 2026 GovTech Breakthrough Award for Law Enforcement Technology Innovation

CentralSquare One™ recognized for connecting critical intelligence across the public safety incident lifecycle, helping first responders make faster, more informed decisions

LAKE MARY, FL, November 12, 2026 – CentralSquare Technologies, a leading provider of public sector software, today announced that it has been named a winner in the 2026 GovTech Breakthrough Awards program, receiving the “Law Enforcement Technology Innovation Award” for CentralSquare One™, its unified intelligence platform designed to transform how public safety agencies access and use critical information.

Introduced in 2026, CentralSquare One is the first unified intelligence platform designed to connect the entire public safety incident lifecycle, from the initial 911 call through the final report. By bringing together computer-aided dispatch (CAD), records management (RMS), jail management (JMS), mobile solutions, NG911, Centerline AI and FirstTwo, the platform gives dispatchers, officers, investigators and command staff access to critical information within their existing workflows.

“Public safety agencies need technology that delivers the right information at the right time, without adding complexity to the work they do every day,” said Denise Hemke, Chief Product Officer at CentralSquare Technologies. “CentralSquare One brings intelligence together across the entire incident lifecycle, helping first responders make faster, more informed decisions when every second counts. We’re proud to receive this recognition as we continue developing technology that strengthens public safety operations and supports the people serving our communities.”

Gathering the full context of an incident has traditionally required responders to navigate multiple systems and anywhere from 30 to more than 200 clicks. CentralSquare One simplifies this process by surfacing address history, prior incidents, warrants, risk factors and AI-driven insights in a single click, allowing responders to spend less time searching for information and more time responding.

The platform also extends real-time intelligence capabilities traditionally associated with dedicated real-time crime centers to agencies of all sizes, without requiring them to replace existing technology investments. Supporting both cloud and on-premises environments, CentralSquare One helps agencies modernize operations while reducing cost, complexity and disruption.

The 2026 GovTech Breakthrough Awards, part of the Tech Breakthrough organization, recognize companies and technologies advancing innovation across the global government technology industry. The inaugural program received hundreds of nominations from more than 15 countries, honoring solutions that are transforming how public agencies operate, deliver services, and serve their communities. CentralSquare was recognized in the Law Enforcement Technology Innovation category.
