PHILADELPHIA, PA — ZeroEyes has secured a renewal of its AI-based gun-detection system across all four Central Valley School District facilities in Beaver County, extending the Philadelphia-area company’s deployment after its first year monitoring security-camera feeds for potential firearm threats.
The district serves about 2,200 students and employs roughly 200 faculty and staff across a primary center, elementary school, middle school and high school. ZeroEyes did not disclose the contract’s value or renewal term.
The software operates with the district’s existing digital security cameras, using artificial intelligence to identify images that may contain a firearm. Potential detections are transmitted to the company’s operations center for human review.
If ZeroEyes personnel determine that an image represents a valid threat, the system sends information to law enforcement and school officials that can include the person’s visual description, firearm type and last known location.
The district is retaining the technology as one component of a broader security program that includes closed-circuit cameras, a visitor-management system, school resource officers, safety drills and staff trained under the ALICE response program.
“ZeroEyes has been a valued partner, delivering continuous monitoring and an added level of assurance in our campus security efforts,” Brian Dolph, the district’s safety and security director, said.
Central Valley also conducts coordinated active-shooter exercises each summer with Beaver County Emergency Services and works with Monaca Borough and Central Township on school security, according to ZeroEyes.
The renewal gives ZeroEyes continued access to a districtwide deployment as the company markets a model that combines automated image detection with human verification rather than relying solely on an AI-generated alert.
ZeroEyes operates its review center around the clock with personnel it describes as specially trained U.S. military and law-enforcement veterans. The company says validated alerts can be transmitted within seconds of a firearm being detected.
