Genesee School District in Michigan has adopted ZeroEyes and Critical Response Group (CRG) technology to enhance emergency response efforts and protect students, faculty and staff from gun-related violence.
The district has deployed ZeroEyes’ proactive AI gun detection solution and integrated CRG’s mapping technology into the ZeroEyes’ platform to deliver critical intelligence to first responders during an active shooter crisis.
Brett Young, Superintendent, Genesee School District commented: “As a close-knit community, the safety of our students and staff is paramount.
“We’ve taken significant steps to ensure a secure environment over the last several years and adding ZeroEyes and CRG’s advanced technologies provides another essential layer of protection.
“We believe that this deployment has strengthened our safety efforts for our students and community,” concluded Young.
Mike Rogers, CEO, CRG stated: “We are excited to collaborate with ZeroEyes to elevate the safety and security of Genesee Public Schools.
“By integrating our critical incident mapping technology with ZeroEyes’ advanced AI gun detection system, we provide a comprehensive solution that displays the precise location of identified threats.”
Rogers added: “This integration ensures that emergency responders and personnel can quickly locate and address incidents, significantly enhancing the safety of students and staff.”
ZeroEyes‘ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto the district’s 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 local law enforcement and school administrators as quickly as three to five seconds from detection.
Founded by US military special operations veterans, CRG adapted and domesticated the military’s gridded reference graphics (GRG) technique to create accurate and detailed maps tailored for emergency responders.
CRG’s mapping data allows organizations to leverage detailed, accurate maps during emergencies, providing crucial context and ensuring precise situational awareness for effective decision-making during critical situations.
Mike Lahiff, CEO and Co-Founder, ZeroEyes said: “ZeroEyes is proud to support Genesee School District in its mission to enhance its security and safety plan.
“Our AI-based gun detection platform, combined with CRG’s mapping technology, offers a robust solution to enhance emergency response capabilities.
“We are happy to put this partnership into action and protect the Genesee community,” Lahiff concluded.
