Unison Risk Advisors has teamed up with ZeroEyes to offer their clients preferred access to cutting-edge, AI-enhanced firearm detection technology. This collaboration is aimed at bolstering public safety and advancing proactive risk mitigation strategies.

ZeroEyes, known for their multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, provides AI-powered gun detection technology that seamlessly integrates with existing digital security cameras. Upon identifying a visible firearm, images are securely relayed to the ZeroEyes Operations Centre, a 24/7/365 staffed facility in the United States helmed by former military and law enforcement experts. This human-verification process aids in making well-informed decisions and issues prompt, actionable alerts to security and response teams, thus enhancing the safety measures for organisations and the communities they support.

Active assailant preparedness

Unison Risk Solutions, a division of Unison Risk Advisors, offers comprehensive workplace violence preparedness services. These include interactive workshops, tabletop exercises, and functional drills designed to reinforce organisational safety protocols. By uniting Unison Risk Solutions’ risk consulting expertise with ZeroEyes’ advanced detection technology, a more informed and proactive approach to risk management and security is achieved.

After meeting the ZeroEyes team last year, it was clear this technology would be extremely valuable to clients across Unison. I’m excited about the impact it will have in protecting our clients against active assailant threats.”

Enhancing risk management

Jim Hedrick, Director of Risk Consulting at Unison Risk Solutions, emphasised the importance of active assailant preparedness in safety strategies, saying, “Expanding access to solutions like ZeroEyes strengthens our ability to support clients with practical tools that enhance safety planning and complement broader risk management strategies.”
