77% of Americans Support Gun Detection Technology in Schools, Workplaces, and Houses of Worship

More than three-quarters of Americans (77.4%) believe gun detection technology should be deployed in schools, workplaces, and other public spaces, according to new survey data released recently. The national survey shows strong support for incorporating camera-based gun detection into existing video surveillance systems.

An overwhelming majority of parents (86%) said they would feel more confident sending their children to schools equipped with gun detection technology.

Office workers across the nation mirrored this sentiment with 74.4% of workers in the U.S. saying they feel safer working in offices that have gun detection technology in place.

The findings arrive one week after Eagle Eye Networks launched its AI-powered gun detection to make communities safer.
