ZeroEyes, creators of the leading multi-analytics weapons detection and
threat intelligence platform, today announced a partnership with Advantech, a
leading security integration and controls company in the mid-Atlantic, and the
Camden Police Department to deploy ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent
situational awareness platform at Delaware's Caesar Rodney School District
(CRSD). Advantech has been a partner of CRSD for 30 years, and worked closely
with Camden Police Chief Marc Whitney to bring ZeroEyes to the district.
"When I saw a ZeroEyes demonstration at an Advantech symposium, I
immediately recognized it as a must-have for the school districts in my
jurisdiction," said Marc Whitney, Chief of Police, Camden Police
Department. "By coordinating with the CRSD and Advantech to leverage
advanced tools like this, we can respond more quickly to potential threats and
ensure a secure learning environment for everyone."
The district spans 107 square miles in central Kent County and serves
8,259 students across 15 schools. It is adding ZeroEyes to a multilayered
security approach that also includes CEIA metal detectors, the Milestone Video
Management solution, armed constables at the high school and middle school, and
a Delaware State Trooper on campus. The district also works closely with the
Camden Police Department to ensure a safe, seamless experience for students,
staff, and families. The adoption of ZeroEyes' AI gun detection technology at
Caesar Rodney High School, Fred Fifer III Middle School, and Nellie Hughes
Stokes Elementary School adds another critical layer of protection to CRSD's
safety program.
"Student safety is our top priority, and we are committed to using
every tool available to protect our schools," said Mark Gaglione, Caesar
Rodney School District Safety and Security Coordinator. "Deploying
ZeroEyes enhances our multilayered security approach, giving our staff and
students greater peace of mind each day."
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 operation center, 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 law enforcement and local security teams, often in a matter
of seconds from the moment a gun is detected.
"We're proud to partner with Advantech and the Camden Police
Department to bring our solution to Caesar Rodney School District," said
Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. "Advantech's expertise in
evaluating and applying technology to best support their customers is
remarkable, and I'm proud that they trust ZeroEyes to help keep schools
safe."
"We are excited to highlight the
collaboration between Camden PD and Caesar Rodney SD in delivering a solution
that strengthens a layered approach to student safety," said Ryne Johnson,
Account Manager, Advantech. "This achievement reflects the coordinated
leadership of Chief Whitney and would not have been possible without that
unified effort. The project underscores the importance of strong partnerships
and the use of advanced technology to support proactive responses in security
situations."
