Faith-based middle school strengthens proactive security and situational awareness to protect students, faculty, and visitors.
Trinity Catholic School has become the first private school in Arkansas to deploy AI gun detection technology from ZeroEyes, adding an advanced layer of protection against gun-related threats.
Located in Fort Smith, the school serves more than 230 students and 30 faculty members in a three-story, 105,000-square-foot building. With a strong community mission encouraging students to “Be Something, Do Something, and Leave Something, All for the Glory of God,” safety has long been a priority.
Existing security measures include reinforced door locks, laminated glass, campus-wide security cameras, and a full-time on-site security officer. The addition of ZeroEyes enhances this comprehensive program with proactive, technology-driven early warning capabilities. The 20+ acre campus extends to nearby roadways, where AI monitoring can provide alerts if an armed individual approaches on foot.
“The students are obviously the most important asset we have, so we would go to any level to protect them,” said Daniel Grubbs, Safety and Security Officer at Trinity Catholic School.
“With a property of this size, early warning and situational awareness are critical. ZeroEyes is a force multiplier that will help us to rapidly locate and neutralize any gun-related threats on our campus.”
AI Detection With Human Verification
ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software integrates with existing digital security cameras.
If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), a U.S.-based, fully in-house operations center staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If the threat is validated, alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — are dispatched to local law enforcement and school administration within 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
“Trinity Catholic School has taken a proactive, tactical approach to campus safety, protecting students and staff while maintaining a welcoming environment,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes.
“We’re proud to provide technology that mitigates gun-related incidents with speed, accuracy, and integrity.”
ZeroEyes delivers a human-verified AI gun detection solution that integrates with existing security cameras to reduce response times and provide actionable intelligence. Recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under the SAFETY Act, the company serves schools, government agencies, healthcare facilities, and enterprises nationwide.
