Trigg County Public Schools Deploys ZeroEyes’ AI Gun Detection and Intelligent Situational Awareness Technology

ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the full U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, announced recently that its proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution has been deployed by Trigg County Public Schools (TCPS) in Kentucky to proactively protect students, teachers, visitors, and staff against gun-related threats.

Nestled in the heart of Cadiz, Trigg County Public Schools operates on a single campus featuring a primary school, intermediate school, middle school, high school, and a career and technical center. The district is supported by a team of approximately 350 staff members, providing education to just under 2,000 students annually from the communities of Cadiz, Canton, Cerulean, Wallonia, and surrounding areas. It has deployed ZeroEyes to enhance its comprehensive, multi-layered security strategy, which also includes remote badge entry, three school resource officers (SROs), and a threat assessment system.

“At TCPS, our mission is to create a safe and secure environment where students and staff can thrive,” said Rex Booth, Superintendent of Trigg County Public Schools. “Safety is our top priority, and the deployment of ZeroEyes on our campus reflects our commitment to being proactive rather than reactive, ensuring a positive and focused learning experience for everyone.”

ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto Trigg County Public Schools 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 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 first responders and school staff as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.

“Every student deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, supportive environment,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “Trigg County Public Schools’ decision to implement ZeroEyes demonstrates their dedication to prioritizing safety and enabling their students to focus on their education. We applaud their proactive efforts to create a secure space where academic success and personal development can flourish.”
