ZeroEyes, the developer of a multi-analytics threat detection platform, has announced the deployment of its AI gun detection and situational awareness software at St. Cecilia School in Cincinnati, Ohio. The implementation aims to enhance the safety of students, staff, and visitors against gun-related incidents.
St. Cecilia School, situated in the heart of Cincinnati in Hamilton County, serves around 250 students from Pre-K to 8th grade and employs a team of 28 faculty and staff. This installation of ZeroEyes reflects the school's ongoing commitment to providing a secure and welcoming educational environment.
Intelligent situational awareness
“The safety of our students is always at the forefront of what we do,” stated David Lewis, Teacher and Student Resource Officer at St. Cecilia School, who is also a retired police officer with 30 years of experience. “I’ve seen ZeroEyes in action, and I believe it will save time and save lives. When I’m teaching, it’s hard to focus on security, so this technology gives me real-time intelligence to respond quickly. It’s a powerful supplement to our existing security measures, and you can’t put a price on student safety.”
The technology integrates with existing digital security cameras to detect firearms
The technology integrates with existing digital security cameras to detect firearms. Upon identification, captured images are promptly sent to the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the singular U.S.-based, in-house operations centre staffed continuously by veterans from military and law enforcement.
Real-time intelligence
Should a threat be confirmed, relevant alerts and actionable intelligence, including detailed descriptions, weapon type, and last-known location, are disseminated to law enforcement and school officials in as little as 3 to 5 seconds.
Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes, remarked, “St. Cecilia School has taken a thoughtful and proactive approach to campus safety. By building upon existing security measures and empowering staff with real-time intelligence, the school is demonstrating its strong commitment to protecting students and faculty while preserving the close-knit culture that defines its community.”
