ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the full U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, announced that its proactive AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software has been deployed at Midland Christian School in Midland, Texas, to help protect students, staff, and visitors from gun-related threats.
Located in Midland, Texas, Midland Christian School is a private, faith-based institution serving 1,286 K-12 students and 164 faculty members on a campus comprising six buildings.
Upgraded its security with investments
The school operates as a tight-knit community, making campus-wide safety an especially high priority
With a community-driven, Christ-centered mission, Midland Christian School focuses on teaching students its core values, “Live for God. Love like Jesus. Learn for Life.” The school operates as a tight-knit community, making campus-wide safety an especially high priority.
Recently, Midland Christian upgraded its security with investments such as 3M security film on all glass windows, a 24/7 on-campus security officer, and a dedicated Safety Committee made up of parents and school leadership. The adoption of ZeroEyes represents the latest step in advancing its layered safety strategy.
ZeroEyes security efforts
“Since 1957, Midland Christian School has striven to enrich students’ lives academically, spiritually, and emotionally,” said Dr. Gregory Anderson, President of Midland Christian School.
“Their safety is a critical part of that mission, and adding ZeroEyes to our security efforts enables us to respond faster and more effectively to potential threats.”
Existing digital security cameras
ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto digital security cameras
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 Centre (ZOC), the industry's only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation centre, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans.
If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to local law enforcement and school administration as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
Proactive and strategic approach
“Midland Christian School has taken a proactive and strategic approach to campus security, protecting students and teachers without compromising its positive, welcoming environment,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes.
“We’re proud to support their efforts with our unique solution designed to mitigate gun-related incidents with speed, accuracy, and integrity.”
