ZeroEyes, the developer of a multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, has extended its collaboration with the Central Valley School District in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
Following a successful initial year, the district will continue to use ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and situational awareness software to enhance school safety.
Enhancing school safety
The Central Valley School District, which accommodates about 2,200 students and 200 staff members across four facilities in Beaver County, has integrated ZeroEyes' technology as part of its commitment to creating a secure learning environment. The district comprises a primary center, elementary school, middle school, and high school where the software is utilized.
"The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority," stated Brian Dolph, Safety & Security Director for the district. He emphasized the proactive measures being taken with ZeroEyes to ensure real-time detection of potential firearm threats. This effort underscores the district's dedication to maintaining safety within its campuses.
Broader safety initiatives
The continuation of ZeroEyes' deployment is a component of the district’s comprehensive safety strategy
The continuation of ZeroEyes' deployment is a component of the district’s comprehensive safety strategy. This includes using closed-circuit cameras, a visitor management system, trained staff under the ALICE program, regular safety drills, and presence of school resource officers. Additionally, the district conducts active shooter drills in collaboration with Beaver County Emergency Services and cooperates with local communities to bolster campus security.
Advanced detection and response
ZeroEyes’ AI software integrates with existing digital security cameras to detect firearms. Upon identification, images are sent instantaneously to the company's Operations Center (ZOC), the sole fully U.S.-based center of its kind, staffed around-the-clock by veterans from the U.S. military and law enforcement. If a threat is validated, alerts containing crucial details such as visual descriptions and locations are relayed immediately to law enforcement and school authorities.
"Central Valley School District has taken a thoughtful and proactive approach to campus safety," commented Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. He noted the district's commitment to quick response capabilities through real-time intelligence and strong partnerships, which supports the continuation of a safe educational environment.
ZeroEyes, creators of the multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, announces that its proactive AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software has been renewed by Central Valley School District in Beaver County, Pennsylvania after a successful first year of deployment.
Serving four schools across Beaver County, Pennsylvania, including a primary center, elementary school, middle school, and high school, the district supports approximately 2,200 students and 200 faculty and staff. ZeroEyes has been integrated across all facilities as part of the district’s commitment to maintaining a safe, secure, and welcoming learning environment.
Welcoming learning environment
“The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority,” said Brian Dolph, Safety & Security Director for the Central Valley School District. “By implementing ZeroEyes technology, Central Valley School District is taking a proactive step to enhance campus security and provide real-time detection of potential firearm threats, helping ensure that our schools remain safe places for teaching, learning, and growth. ZeroEyes has been a valued partner, delivering continuous monitoring and an added level of assurance in our campus security efforts.”
Central Valley School District’s deployment is part of a broader, layered approach to safety that includes closed-circuit cameras, a visitor management system, ALICE-trained staff, regular district-wide safety drills, and school resource officers in all buildings. The district also conducts coordinated active shooter drills each summer in partnership with Beaver County Emergency Services and works closely with local communities, including Monaca Borough and Central Township, to support campus safety efforts.
Situational awareness software
ZeroEyes’ 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 U.S.-based, fully in-house operations centre staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If the threat is determined to be valid, alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — are dispatched to law enforcement and school officials, often in a matter of seconds from the moment a gun is detected.
“Central Valley School District has taken a thoughtful and proactive approach to campus safety,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “By continuing to invest in real-time intelligence and working closely with trusted partners, the district is strengthening its ability to respond quickly to potential threats while maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment.”
