Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) has launched Bailey’s Promise, an initiative offering up to ten of RAD’s real-time firearm detection AI software licenses to every K–12 school in the US at zero cost.
While the firearm detection software license is provided free of charge, a one-time $499 onboarding fee and a $99 monthly service cost help ensure each school’s system is properly configured, fully supported and always ready to respond. These fees cover up to ten existing IP cameras.
According to RAD, schools or districts wishing to expand coverage beyond ten cameras may do so at a discounted rate of 50% off the standard per-camera license fee, making additional integrations affordable and scalable for larger facilities or multi-building campuses.
This software-only solution enables schools to upgrade their existing surveillance camera systems into intelligent firearm detection systems, delivering rapid alerts and initiating emergency protocols when a visible weapon is detected.
The company highlights that many schools already have surveillance cameras in place but lack real-time firearm detection ability.
Bailey’s Promise bridges that gap with a powerful, easy-to-activate upgrade that brings immediate protective value.
The system identifies visible firearms in fractions of a second and autonomously executes predetermined response protocols.
These may include activating visual and audible alerts, initiating mobile notifications, emergency escalations and integrations with lockdown or mass notification systems.
This level of real-time detection and engagement can provide schools with critical seconds to act, potentially saving lives and minimizing harm.
The initiative is named in honor of Bailey Holt, a kind and vibrant 15-year-old who was killed during a school shooting in 2018.
Since then, her mother, Secret Holt, has been a passionate advocate for RAD’s mission.
“The fact that RAD is now offering this technology to every school means everything to me,” said Holt.
“No school should hesitate. If this software can help prevent even one tragedy, it’s worth it. Time is a thief, and it doesn’t discriminate.
“The next victim could be anyone’s child. I truly hope every school in the country takes this opportunity to protect their students.”
“We hear it every time, thoughts, prayers, statements of concern, promises to do better,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and Founder of AITX and RAD.
“But now the technology exists to actually do better and we are removing every excuse not to act.
“Bailey’s Promise gives every school the power to detect firearms before a tragedy unfolds. It costs nothing. It requires no new hardware. What more do we need?
“If we truly care about protecting our kids, the time to act is right now.”
Enrollment is open now and RAD encourages all school leaders to explore how this free solution can be deployed quickly to help safeguard their students and staff.
