ZeroEyes, the creators of the only AI-based gun detection video analytics platform that holds the US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation announced that Park City School District (PCSD) of Summit County, Utah has deployed its proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution to mitigate gun-related violence.
Park City School District (PCSD)
Nestled within the mountains of the year-round resort town, PCSD encompasses four elementary schools, a middle school, a junior high, a high school, and a learning centre.
The district educates nearly 5,000 students annually and boasts a graduation rate in the top 1 percent of the nation.
Intelligent situational awareness software
AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software is layered on existing digital security cameras
PCSD is highly focused on student safety, collaborating with the Summit County Sheriff's Department and the Park City Police Department to deploy advanced electronic, physical, and procedural security measures.
ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software is layered on existing digital security cameras at all eight student-occupied PCSD buildings.
ZeroEyes Operations Centre
If a gun is identified, images will instantly be shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Centre (ZOC), staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans.
If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they will dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence, including visual description, gun type, and last known location, to local staff and first responders in as fast as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
AI algorithms
The platform does not store personal or biometric data or conduct any kind of facial recognition
The company's AI algorithms only search for guns, not faces or bodies. Until a gun is identified, the monitoring screens in the ZOC stay blank; the ZeroEyes Operations team does not see a live feed from any cameras.
Further, the platform does not store personal or biometric data or conduct any kind of facial recognition.
Gun-related violence
“We hold a deep commitment to safeguarding our students and staff, and ZeroEyes is a compassionate ally in our mission,” said Michael Tanner, COO of Park City School District.
He adds, “By addressing the concerns of gun-related violence while also respecting the need for privacy, this solution allows us to provide a secure yet welcoming campus environment.”
Proactive safety measures
“Between its collaboration with local law enforcement and the deployment of proactive safety measures throughout its schools, Park City School District has shown that it is on the cutting edge of security,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO, and Co-Founder of ZeroEyes, adding “We are proud to work alongside this dedicated leadership team to protect students and staff against gun-related threats.”
Park City School District was introduced to ZeroEyes through the company’s exclusive Utah reselling partner Aegix, a provider of industry-pioneering resources, technology, equipment, and training for first responders.
