Stop Shootings Before They Start: Proactively Detect Threats with Visual AI

Webinar Summary

Active shootings in schools continue to be on the rise. Last year broke a record with 346 school shootings – the most in over four decades. Of those 346 school shootings, 38 resulted in injuries or deaths, highlighting the need for active shooter prevention.

Law enforcement experts say what happened in Uvalde is reminiscent of what occurred in prior mass shootings, including Columbine. This is why there continues to be significant growth in public and private organizations leaning into technology to detect weapons in seconds and automatically initiate emergency responses that save lives.

However, the problem is that current detection methods are reactive and have limited scalability. Gunshot detectors, alarms, and current video camera technology identify active shooting events after they have started. Current camera systems also require constant vigilance, with human attention spans notoriously limited.

Visual AI is a technology that proactively detects threats, automatically alerting the proper authorities and helping to stop active shootings before they start. In this webinar, you’ll hear from real-life school Superintendents leveraging Visual AI technology in their schools. They will speak to the value it’s brought them, the use cases they leverage, processes, learnings, and more.
