Central Valley School District in Beaver County recently renewed its subscription to AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software after a successful first year of deployment at four schools.
Conshohocken-based ZeroEyes, an analytics and security tools developer, created the software that can be used with existing digital security cameras. Images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center if a gun is identified. The center is staffed by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If the threat is determined to be valid, they dispatch law enforcement and school officials. This often happens with seconds of a gun being detected.
“The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority,” Brian Dolph, Central Valley School District safety and security director, said. “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.”
Deployment was part of a larger safety initiative that also includes active shooter drills and a visitor management system.
