ZeroEyes partners with RapidDeploy

PHILADELPHIA and AUSTIN, Texas — ZeroEyes and RapidDeploy have announced a strategic industry partnership to optimize first responder awareness during gun-related incidents.

The companies will collaborate to provide Emergency Communication Centers (ECCs) and field responders with enriched, real-time critical information to enable faster, more effective emergency responses during gun-related incidents at K-12 schools.

RapidDeploy, a cloud-native solution provider for the public safety market will deploy its Radius Mapping technology and Lightning mobile solution to serve as the foundation of a connected ecosystem that enables seamless communication and data exchange between 911 agencies and first responders. With Next Generation 911 (NG911) solutions deployed statewide in 11 states and across 1,500 ECCs, RapidDeploy provides a platform for agencies to integrate their indoor floor plans, panic buttons, and emergency event data to create a unified operating picture for safety.

The integration of ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software with RapidDeploy’s solutions will enable key features including real-time suspect location tracking on the Radius map, direct access to human-validated images of the suspect and weapon, and panic proximity alerts for field responders via the Lightning app. Proximity alerts can be configured to inform responders nearby before the 911 call even reaches the dispatch center, ensuring they are equipped with essential information ahead of time.

“Our partnership with ZeroEyes marks an important leap forward in response capabilities,” said Steve Raucher, CEO and co-founder of RapidDeploy. “When lives are at stake and every second counts, first responders face critical blind spots that hinder threat assessment. The integration of our technologies improves situational awareness, allowing responders to act swiftly and accurately.”

"Integrating ZeroEyes' AI gun detection technology with RapidDeploy’s solutions marks a major advancement in safety for both our K-12 customers and first responders,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “This partnership will help deliver critical, life-saving intelligence directly to those on the front lines of community protection.”
