Lunch & Learn event
The company and school district are co-hosting a Lunch & Learn at Berkshire High School (14155 Claridon Troy Road in Burton, OH) to educate about how ZeroEyes’ proactive gun detection and situational awareness solution can help mitigate active school shooter scenarios.

Rapid notification and situational awareness
“We are proud to have been the first Ohio school district to deploy ZeroEyes and are so pleased with its performance that we actively recommend it to surrounding districts,” said John Stoddard, superintendent of Berkshire Local School District.
“We selected ZeroEyes due to its rapid notification and situational awareness capabilities."
Proactive protection
Our community feels much safer knowing that, in the event of an active school shooter, we would receive near-instant notifications"
"Our community feels much safer knowing that, in the event of an active school shooter, we would receive near-instant notifications featuring a description and real-time location of the threat.”
"We are impressed with Berkshire Local School District’s initiative to proactively protect its faculty and students from gun-related threats,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. "We are proud to be an essential part of their multi-layered security plan.”
Visual gun detection
ZeroEyes' proactive visual gun detection and situational awareness software platform is layered over schools' existing digital security cameras, where it identifies illegally brandished guns and immediately shares images with a specialised group of U.S. military and law enforcement veterans at one of the ZeroEyes Operation Centers (ZOC) that are staffed 24/7/365.
Once these experts verify the threat, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence, including visual description, gun type, and last known location, to local staff and law enforcement as fast as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
