ZeroEyes, a leader in AI-driven gun detection technology, has recently received a $2M grant from the Pennsylvania Commission of Crime and Delinquency (PCCD).
This funding highlights the state's commitment to enhancing public safety through innovative technologies.
The grant was initiated by leadership within the Pennsylvania legislature, allowing ZeroEyes to further deploy its technology across the state.
ZeroEyes was established by former Navy SEALs who are committed to leveraging their expertise for greater public safety. The company specializes in proactive, human-verified AI gun detection systems that integrate into existing security infrastructure, offering crucial support during potential active shooter incidents.
"As a Pennsylvania company, we are deeply honored by the Pennsylvania State Senate's support of our mission to keep communities safe. This funding will allow us to enhance our technology, expand its deployment across the state, and ensure that more students, teachers, and school staff are protected from potential threats."
Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes
The financial infusion will enable the expansion of ZeroEyes' AI platform to fifteen additional school districts within Pennsylvania. By linking with existing security systems, the technology provides quick alerts to law enforcement, helping to reduce response times in critical situations.
The $2M grant will be utilized to advance AI technology for more rapid and accurate gun detection and to broaden the platform's reach. This includes scaling up integration into more schools and extending comprehensive training programs with local law enforcement to optimize the technology’s effectiveness.
"Protecting our schools and providing a safe learning environment for students is of paramount importance. ZeroEyes' technology is innovative, proactive, and will help to keep kids safe."
Senator Greg Rothman, Pennsylvania's 34th District
This grant is part of Pennsylvania’s ongoing effort to back cutting-edge solutions that address public safety issues effectively. ZeroEyes continues to set standards in the AI security domain, with a strong focus on protecting educational environments against gun-related threats.
