Public Safety Software Leader Acquires Innovative AI Technology Company, Accelerating AI Strategy

Acquisition reinforces commitment to innovation with plans to integrate AI across mission-critical platforms

LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CentralSquare Technologies, a leading provider of public sector software, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the operating assets of Blueline, an AI-based platform that augments routine tasks, such as body-worn camera transcriptions, police report narratives and search warrant routing. By reducing time-consuming administrative work, Blueline AI empowers law enforcement agencies to focus more time on protecting and serving their communities.

"This marks the first step of our vision for a unified AI platform that will optimize all CentralSquare product offerings in the future," said Manolis Kotzabasakis, Chief Executive Officer at CentralSquare. “By bringing Blueline into the CentralSquare ecosystem, we are equipping our customers with the power to simplify routine reporting and administrative tasks without sacrificing security or data integrity."

Blueline AI — a company inspired by co-founder Lane Floyd’s father and grandfather, both career law enforcement officers — seeks to aid those who serve and protect by making paperwork and transcriptions less of a burden. Blueline AI’s platform is an AI engine that gives agencies complete control of their data in a secure environment while generating customizable templates and forms. Human review, editing, and approvals are integral to the engine’s workflow, and CJIS compliance, data integrity and security are never compromised.

"We couldn't ask for a better partner than CentralSquare to help us continue this important work,” said Preston Willis, co-founder of Blueline AI. “By making these processes more efficient, we’re helping officers spend less time behind desks and more time where they're needed most — protecting and serving their communities.”

This acquisition strengthens CentralSquare’s mission to empower both public safety and public administration agencies with innovative solutions that enhance their ability to serve and protect their communities. To find out more visit CentralSquare.com/Blueline.
