ZeroEyes has announced that its proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness platform has been deployed by the Modesto Police Department (PD) throughout the city.
This partnership reflects the Modesto Police Department’s commitment to utilizing the latest tools to improve public safety and reduce crime in the community.
Cat McFadon, Police Civilian Manager, Modesto PD commented: “We want our community members to feel secure in their work, leisure and daily lives.
“ZeroEyes’ ability to detect firearms and trigger instant alerts will allow us to respond more quickly and efficiently to gun-related threats.
“With this additional technology in our toolbelt, we’re reinforcing our efforts to drive down crime and make Modesto a safer place for everyone,” McFadon concluded.
This pilot program is intended to assess the effectiveness of ZeroEyes technology in real-world conditions with the goal of expanding its use in key areas such as local schools and the city’s shopping mall.
ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras.
If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry’s only 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 — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to Modesto PD as quickly as three to five seconds from detection.
Mike Lahiff, CEO, ZeroEyes stated: “The Modesto PD’s commitment to increasing public safety through innovative technology aligns perfectly with our mission, and we look forward to the collaboration.
“We’re confident that ZeroEyes will not only meet but exceed Modesto PD’s expectations, enhancing response times and reducing the impact of gun-related threats,” he added.
