ZeroEyes has announced that its gun detection and situational awareness solution has been deployed at the Wilshire Boulevard Temple.
According to the company, the deployment has been put in place to protect members and staff against gun-related threats.
The campus was founded in 1862 and the company highlights that it is the oldest Jewish congregation and synagogue in Los Angeles, California.
The campus spans an entire city block and features the organization’s Byzantine-Revival Sanctuary, a designated National Register of Historic Places landmark.
It also houses the Erika J. Glazer Early Childhood Center, Brawerman Elementary School East, the Edgar F. Magnin Religious School and the Karsh Family Social Service Center, which serves the surrounding community with a weekly food pantry and provides free dental care, vision care, mental health services, legal aid and English language support.
ZeroEyes says that Wilshire Boulevard Temple has implemented multiple security measures to protect its 6,000 congregants, including an extensive camera network and advanced access control features.
The company says that the deployment of its multi-layered security system enhances proactive alerting and situational awareness, helping to prevent and mitigate gun-related violence.
ZeroEyes says that its 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:
Mike Lahiff, CEO and Co-Founder, ZeroEyes said: “The freedom to practice one’s faith without fear is a fundamental right.
“We applaud Wilshire Boulevard Temple for taking proactive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of their congregation.
“Their dedication to creating a secure environment is a powerful example of community leadership,” Lahiff concluded.
