PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZeroEyes, creators of the leading multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, today announced that its proactive AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software has been deployed by Ulysses USD 214 in Kansas to help protect students, staff, and visitors from gun-related threats.
Located in rural Grant County in southwest Kansas, Ulysses USD 214 serves approximately 1,400 students and employs 225 staff members across four school buildings. The addition of ZeroEyes, funded through the Kansas Safe and Secure Firearm Detection Grant Program, administered by the Office of the Kansas Attorney General, is part of a significant districtwide investment in school safety and security. The district is implementing a comprehensive suite of new security measures, including controlled building access, upgraded camera systems, detailed school mapping, reunification planning, and other enhancements across its elementary, middle, and high school campuses, to create a stronger, more proactive approach to protecting students and staff. Together, these investments represent a substantial expansion of the district’s safety infrastructure.
“Keeping our students and staff safe is one of the most important responsibilities we have,” said Andrew Cole, Maintenance & Facilities Director at Ulysses USD 214. “Thanks to the support of our Board of Education and community, we’ve been able to make meaningful investments in school safety, and we’re building a much stronger foundation for the future. We’re moving in the right direction, and I’m proud of everyone who has played a role in supporting these efforts and helping make our schools safer.”
ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry’s only U.S.-based, fully in-house operations center staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If the threat is determined to be valid, alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — are dispatched to law enforcement and school officials, often in a matter of seconds from the moment a gun is detected.
“We commend the district’s Board of Education and the State of Kansas and Attorney General for its leadership and commitment to implementing proactive student and staff safety,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “We are proud to support Ulysses USD 214 in its ongoing efforts to protect its community from gun-related violence.”
