A large school safety company says Leon County’s Godby High School is the first in the country to install an AI based system to instantly detect and report a gun on campus. Zero Eyes School Safety President Chris Heilig says the technology uses the school’s existing network of cameras. These pass the suspected gun image to a human-staffed response center. Personnel there make the final determination about the legitimacy of the threat. If confirmed, they then sound the alarm to the designated responders.<\/p>\n
“So the camera feed at the school detects the gun with our software, we receive an image with a bounding box around that weapon, and then we communicate to the school district, 911, law enforcement to say, ‘There’s a weapon on campus.'”<\/p>\n
The entire process, says Heilig, is very close to instantaneous.<\/p>\n
“Within 3 to 5 seconds, if it’s a dispatched weapon on campus, it’s go time and we’re all working to head that off at the pass.”<\/p>\n
The same Zero Eyes technology, said a company spokesman, was used to alert police in early May to the presence of a gun in a parking garage at Florida State University. The school brought it online after last year’s fatal on-campus shooting.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, back at Godby High, another company is providing drones to give a literal birds-eye view of any emergency. So far this year, Leon School District Safety and Security Chief Jimmy Williams says a total of three firearms have been taken from students who brought the weapons to school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A large school safety company says Leon County’s Godby High School is the first in the country to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-274374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
