The Adrian Public Schools Board of Education has authorized the renewal of a specialized artificial intelligence platform designed to identify firearms via existing security cameras.
The district first implemented the ZeroEyes gun detection technology in 2023. The software functions as a digital layer over existing security camera systems, scanning for potential threats in real time.
When the software identifies a firearm, images are transmitted to a 24-hour operations center staffed by military and law enforcement veterans. If the threat is verified by the analysts, alerts and visual intelligence—including the suspect’s description and weapon type—are dispatched to local law enforcement and school officials within seconds.
The renewal is part of a broader, multi-layered security strategy adopted by the district in recent years. Additional safety measures include a total overhaul of the digital camera network, the deployment of weapons-detection K-9 units and the installation of shatter-resistant glass in high-traffic areas of school buildings.
District officials and local law enforcement noted that the continued use of the technology is intended to provide first responders with actionable information during critical incidents where response time is vital.
