ZeroEyes announced that its AI gun detection solution has been selected by West Feliciana Parish Schools (WFPS) to help mitigate gun-related violence.

WFPS, based in St. Francisville, La., is renowned as one of the state’s highest-ranked educational systems. The district educates approximately 2,300 students from early childhood through 12th grade and is the school system of choice for the overwhelming majority of local students. WFPS boasts a robust early childhood program and a state-of-the-art career tech center, providing national certifications to prepare students for college and career success.

“The safety and well-being of our students and staff members is our top priority,” said Hollis Milton, Superintendent of WFPS. “We are constantly considering how we can provide additional safety assurances, and ZeroEyes is one of the most proactive safety measures we could find.”

WFPS maintains a comprehensive security program, collaborating closely with the local sheriff's department and employing full-time School Resource Officers (SROs). The district is further enhancing its school safety by deploying ZeroEyes across its Bains Lower Elementary, Bains Elementary, West Feliciana Middle School and West Feliciana High School campuses.

“We commend WFPS for their proactive approach in safeguarding their community," said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “The ability to swiftly identify and locate gun-related threats is a game-changer in securing school campuses. By deploying ZeroEyes, WFPS demonstrates a commitment to leveraging advanced technology to better protect their students and faculty."
