ZeroEyes, creators of an AI-based gun detection video analytics platform, have announced a strategic partnership with the United Safety & Survivability Corporation to increase safety and decrease gun-related violence on public transit.

According to the companies, United Safety will resell ZeroEyes’ proactive AI gun detection solution to its extensive customer base of public transit agencies to reduce the probability and impact of active shooter threats on buses, subways and other mass transit systems. 

ZeroEyes’ software layers over existing security cameras, identifying brandished guns and dispatching alerts to security personnel and local law enforcement as fast as three to five seconds from the moment of detection.

“United Safety has worked with nearly every US and Canadian transit agency over the past 20 years and we’ve seen the challenges that our customers are facing in regards to safety,“ said Joseph Mirabile, President and CEO of United Safety. “ZeroEyes’ innovative solution can help boost safety and confidence for commuters, operators and staff and we are thrilled to include it in our innovative portfolio of product offerings for our customers.”

United Safety is a manufacturer and safety solutions provider delivering innovative technology to protect lives and property across a wide range of industries, including transit, first responder, school bus, marine, military, mining and forestry. The company engineers and produces lifesaving systems in-house and works with strategic partners like ZeroEyes to improve public safety globally.

“Millions of people depend on public transportation in their everyday lives, so this escalating violence must be stopped now,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and Co-Founder of ZeroEyes. “The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA) recently paved the way by becoming the first major transit system to deploy our solution and United Safety will play a crucial role in connecting us with additional transportation agencies that are ready to take proactive action against gun-related incidents.”
