ZeroEyes and CRG deployed at Genesee School District

PHILADELPHIA, PA and HAMILTON, NJ, DECEMBER 11, 2024 – ZeroEyes and Critical Response Group (CRG), announced that the Genesee School District has adopted ZeroEyes and CRG technology to enhance emergency response efforts and protect students, faculty and staff from gun-related violence.

Located near Flint, Michigan, Genesee is a small, community-oriented district serving over 700 students at Jack P. Haas Elementary School and Genesee Jr/Sr High School.  

ZeroEyes, citing research from its Gun Violence Research Center, found that 51.5% of the shootings analyzed in Michigan took place at K-12 schools, with 21.6% of the perpetrators identified as former students. To address this problem, Genesee School District has deployed ZeroEyes’ proactive AI gun detection solution and integrated CRG’s mapping technology into the ZeroEyes’ platform to deliver critical intelligence to first responders during an active shooter crisis.

“As a close-knit community, the safety of our students and staff is paramount,” said Brett Young, Superintendent of Genesee School District. “We’ve taken significant steps to ensure a secure environment over the last several years, and adding ZeroEyes and CRG’s advanced technologies provides another essential layer of protection. We believe that this deployment has strengthened our safety efforts for our students and community

“We are excited to collaborate with ZeroEyes to elevate the safety and security of Genesee Public Schools,” said Mike Rogers, CEO of CRG. “By integrating our critical incident mapping technology with ZeroEyes’ advanced AI gun detection system, we provide a comprehensive solution that displays the precise location of identified threats. This integration ensures that emergency responders and personnel can quickly locate and address incidents, significantly enhancing the safety of students and staff.”

CRG has adapted and domesticated the military’s gridded reference graphics (GRG) technique to create accurate and detailed maps tailored for emergency responders. CRG’s mapping data allows organizations to leverage detailed, accurate maps during emergencies.

“ZeroEyes is proud to support Genesee School District in its mission to enhance its security and safety plan,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “Our AI-based gun detection platform, combined with CRG’s mapping technology, offers a robust solution to enhance emergency response capabilities. We are happy to put this partnership into action and protect the Genesee community.”
