ZeroEyes announced that its proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution will be deployed by Michigan’s Olivet Community Schools to protect students and faculty against gun-related violence. The school was approved for the State’s dedicated grant funding, enabling Olivet to implement ZeroEyes.
Olivet Community Schools comprises an elementary school, as well as a middle and high school that are located at the same complex. According to The Gun Violence Research Center, 55 percent of the incidents analyzed in Michigan educational systems were spontaneous attacks and 42 percent involved former students. To combat the rising threat of violence, the district has been bolstering its safety and security efforts by installing an access control system and brand new digital cameras, along with the deployment of ZeroEyes.
