ZeroEyes has announced the renewal of its AI-driven gun detection and situational awareness software by the Central Valley School District in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
This decision follows a successful first year in which the technology was deployed across the district's four schools, including a primary center, an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school. The district services approximately 2,200 students and 200 faculty and staff members, all benefiting from the enhanced security measures.
Commitment to Safety
Central Valley School District emphasizes its dedication to maintaining a safe educational environment. Brian Dolph, Safety & Security Director for the district, highlighted the importance of student and staff safety, stating, "The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority... ZeroEyes has been a valued partner, delivering continuous monitoring and an added level of assurance in our campus security efforts."
ZeroEyes employs advanced AI software that integrates with existing security cameras
The district's security strategy also includes a comprehensive approach that combines ZeroEyes technology with closed-circuit cameras, a visitor management system, ALICE-trained staff, and school resource officers. Coordinated safety drills and active shooter exercises are conducted in collaboration with Beaver County Emergency Services and local community partners in Monaca Borough and Central Township.
Technology and Real-Time Response
ZeroEyes employs advanced AI software that integrates with existing security cameras to detect firearms. Once a weapon is identified, images are quickly forwarded to the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC). This center, the only fully U.S.-based operation of its kind, is staffed round-the-clock by veterans from U.S. military and law enforcement. Verified threats prompt the dispatch of alerts and intelligence, such as visual descriptions and last known locations, to law enforcement and school officials within seconds.
Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes, remarked on the district's proactive measures: "Central Valley School District has taken a thoughtful and proactive approach to campus safety. 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."
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.”
