ZeroEyes, Inc., creators of the only A.I.-based platform focused on weapons detection that holds the US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation announced a roadshow to support active shooter training events at multiple U.S. schools.

The company will conduct demonstrations and discussion sessions to educate schools and law enforcement on how to prepare for and respond to active shooter scenarios by leveraging A.I. gun detection software supported by real-time threat intelligence.

Roadshow locations 

ZeroEyes is planning training events with several schools, and will begin its roadshow at the following locations:

  • Hobbs Municipal School District (Hobbs, NM) - July 20
  • South Side Area School District (Beaver County, PA) - July 28
  • Rancocas Valley Regional High School (Mt. Holly, NJ) - August 17

Gun Violence Archive

Active shooter training events boost first responders and the police response to future gun threats

The Gun Violence Archive has recorded more than 300 mass shootings in 2022, averaging 1.7 mass shootings a day. School districts remain a prime target, as evidenced by the recent shooting in Uvalde, TX.

Active shooter training events are designed to improve active shooter prevention tactics and boost first responder and the police response to future gun threats.

Response time testing

As part of the drills, law enforcement will test their response times for real-world active shooter scenarios both with and without the ZeroEyes platform.

Additional school districts and businesses will be invited to attend lunch and learn sessions, hear law enforcement speak about ZeroEyes’ technology, and see a demonstration of the platform. 

Active shooter drill

In 2019, it took law enforcement 3 minutes to reach the active shooter without ZeroEyes"

When we conducted an active shooter drill in 2019, it took law enforcement three minutes to reach the active shooter without ZeroEyes, and only 30 seconds with ZeroEyes,” said Dr. Christopher Heilig, Superintendent, Rancocas Valley Regional High School.

ZeroEyes provides invaluable situational intelligence that helps first responders rapidly locate the person with the weapon and minimise casualties.”

A.I. gun detection platform

ZeroEyes’ A.I. gun detection platform integrates with existing security cameras and utilises hundreds of thousands of proprietary images to detect the brandishing of a gun and alert a potential gun threat.

The gun detection is then sent to the ZeroEyes Operation Center (ZOC) for human verification, and a timestamp, keyframe image, and location are dispatched over desktop and mobile applications to faculty, staff, and first responders within 3-5 seconds. 

Student and staff safety 

The AI technology provided by the ZeroEyes system provides us with extra time to deploy our security measures"

"I believe ZeroEyes to be a response multiplier that allows students and staff to remain safe and respond quickly when an individual decides to carry out an attack," said Gene Strickland, Superintendent, Hobbs Municipal Schools. "ZeroEyes performs as billed and is an essential component of our Safety and Security Ecosystem within Hobbs Municipal Schools."

ZeroEyes is an integral and central part of our proactive approach to school security,” said Alan R. Fritz, Jr., Superintendent, South Side Area School District. “In the event of an emergency, time is of the essence and the AI technology provided by the ZeroEyes system provides us with extra time to deploy our security measures.” 

Benefits of threat intelligence

Our research has found that the average police response time for an active shooter event is approximately twelve minutes,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “When it comes to saving lives, response time is crucial and can have a significant impact on lives saved."

"By participating in active shooter training events across the U.S., we hope to demonstrate how threat intelligence provided by ZeroEyes can help schools and law enforcement respond to gun-related threats more swiftly and efficiently.”
