ZeroEyes has announced the expansion of its proactive AI-based gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution across all middle and elementary schools inย Florida’sย Leon County School District.

The company says that this decision follows the successful initial implementation of the technology on fiveย Leon Countyย high school campuses.

School safety

Leon Countyย Schools is headquartered inย Tallahassee, Floridaย and is the sole school district of the county.

ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers ontoย Leon Countyย Schools’ existing digital security cameras.

If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), a US-based, fully in-house operation center, 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 โ€” including visual description, gun type and last known location โ€” to local law enforcement and school administrators as quickly as three to five seconds from detection.

“Leon Countyย Schools has been at the forefront of school security innovation and we are honored to support their efforts,” saidย 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.”
