3Si hosted two Challenge Coin Ceremonies at this year’s Global Security Exchange (GSX), to honour local law enforcement heroes for their bravery and dedication to community safety.

Each ceremony was presented by Richard Long, CPP, 3Si’s Chief Security Officer and a decorated law enforcement retiree.

Apprehending criminals

The officers honored have played pivotal roles in apprehending criminals and maintaining community security, the company reports.

Multiple personnel from the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Highway Patrol and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office were recognised.

The Tuesday ceremony outlined how law enforcement safely and successfully resolved a violent bank robbery at a national bank in Citrus County, FL.

The Highway Patrol and the Sheriff’s Office coordinated a successful operation, utilizing crime intelligence delivered to their dispatchers by the 3Si solution platform.

Dispatchers and first responders took swift and thoughtful action to ensure the apprehension of the suspects, including the recovery of an AR-15.

This operation highlighted the critical role of inter-agency collaboration, prioritizing officer and community safety and 3Si’s advanced security technologies.

Protecting communities

“These officers exemplify the courage and commitment it takes to protect our communities,” said Long.

“Their achievements deserve to be recognized and we’re grateful to have had the chance to honor them at GSX.”
