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 the expansion of its proactive AI-based gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution across all middle and elementary schools in Florida’s Leon County School District.
This decision follows the successful initial implementation of the technology on five Leon County high school campuses.
Reliability and accuracy
"After a successful ZeroEyes deployment in our high schools, we are very confident in the technology's reliability and accuracy," said Jimmy Williams, Chief of Safety and Security Staff for Leon County Schools.
“ZeroEyes has consistently delivered on its promises, proving effective in distinguishing real threats from non-threatening situations. Expanding this technology to our middle and elementary schools is an essential step in our ongoing commitment to student safety.”
ZeroEyes Operations Centre
Leon County Schools is headquartered in Tallahassee, FL, and is the sole school district of the county
Leon County Schools is headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida and is the sole school district of the county. Its mission is to support an engaging, safe and respectful learning environment that embraces change and produces successful learners who value diversity and are conscientious contributors to society.
ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto Leon County Schools’ existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Centre (ZOC), the industry’s only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation centre, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to local law enforcement and school administrators as quickly as three to five seconds from detection.
School security innovation
"Leon County Schools has been at the forefront of school security innovation, and we are honoured to support their efforts," said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes.
"Their satisfaction with our system's performance and accuracy confirms the value of our technology in protecting communities. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and helping to ensure the safety of all students and staff across the district."
