New Security Measure Will Help Protect
Students, Faculty and Staff from Gun-Related Threats
NASHVILLE, Tenn. and PHILADELPHIA, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Father Ryan High
School in Nashville,
Tennessee, and ZeroEyes, the only AI-based gun detection
video analytics platform that holds the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security SAFETY Act Designation, announced today the school's
deployment of ZeroEyes' proactive gun detection and intelligent
situational awareness solution. The technology will identify
brandished guns on Father Ryan High
School's campus and dispatch alerts to first responders as
quickly as 3-5 seconds.
Father Ryan has carefully evaluated and improved its security
measures over the years to maintain a safe environment. The school
is adding ZeroEyes' technology to an already extensive list of
safety and security measures including access control cards for
building access, officer presence on campus, daily door checks by
the administration, in-depth active shooter training, a robust
visitor management system for all visitors including background
checks, faculty/staff school-wide instant emergency notification
technology and more.
"At Father Ryan, we strive to implement new innovative
precautionary safety measures to maintain a safe school environment
whenever possible," said Joseph
Crumby, Dean of Students, Father Ryan High School. "ZeroEyes will alert us of any
gun-related threats, shaving crucial seconds or even minutes off
police response time. We are proud to incorporate this added layer
of security and provide peace of mind to our community during these
challenging times."
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), staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained
U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these
experts determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch
alerts and actionable intelligence — including
visual description, gun type, and last known location — to
local law enforcement and Father Ryan staff as quickly as 3 to 5
seconds from detection.
"We commend Father Ryan High
School for its dedication to school security during this age
when gun-related threats are far too common," said Mike Lahiff, CEO of ZeroEyes. "By embracing
proactive technologies like ZeroEyes, Father Ryan is at the
forefront of school security, taking every precaution possible to
protect students, faculty and staff from senseless violence."
