ZeroEyes and California’s San Marino Unified School District (SMUSD) has announced the successful first year of their collaboration to protect school facilities, students and volunteers.

Working to coordinate with and educate responding law enforcement agencies, the company and district co-hosted a Training & Enablement event on Friday 30 August.

What was the session on?

In this session, they will educate local schools and law enforcement on the active shooter landscape and demonstrate ZeroEyes’ ability to improve safety, accelerate first response and mitigate gun-related incidents.

The session will take place at the San Marino USD Building at 1665 West Drive in San Marino.

Located in a small suburban residential community northeast of Los Angeles and encompassing approximately four square miles, SMUSD operates two elementary schools (K.L. Carver Elementary School, W.L. Valentine Elementary School), one middle school (H.E. Huntington Middle School) and one high school (San Marino High School).

The district implemented ZeroEyes into its multi-layered security approach last year.

Prioritizing safety

“As an active district, our schools host various activities beyond regular school hours, resulting in numerous visitors on campus,” said Dr. Stephen Choi, Chief Business Official at San Marino Unified School District.

“We prioritize safety by staying well-informed and ZeroEyes ensures that we will receive rapid, crucial information in the event of a gun-related threat.

“We have been very pleased with its deployment at San Marino.”

As part of the district’s comprehensive safety plan, the Training & Enablement event will feature educational demonstrations and discussion sessions focused on trends, technologies and developments that address gun-related violence in schools, including reflections from district leaders on their successful ZeroEyes deployment.

The event is open to local schools, law enforcement and media.
