Funding for Gun Detection
Protecting your students, faculty, staff, and visitors is a top priority—and there's funding available to help you secure gun detection for your campus and event spaces.
Types of Funding
There are several ways to fund school safety initiatives. For many schools and school districts, budgets are already stretched to the max, but the security of students, faculty, staff, and visitors is still a priority. We're happy to partner with you on ways to fund protection on campus.
GRANTS
State and Federal grants are issued for a variety of initiatives, including safety on campus. Over the past five years, the United States has allocated billions of dollars to school grants, many of which can be used for safety initiatives. Allocation of funds, deadlines, and application process vary for each grant. ZeroEyes has a team of grant writers and state experts that can help you navigate the process.
SOLE SOURCE FUNDING
Sole source funding awards are completed through organizations such as Omnia Partners, Carahsoft, TIPS USA, and others. These groups support the purchasing process for government entities and work with vetted vendors on contracts that meet compliance standards.
SPONSORS AND BOOSTERS
If you have existing sponsors and boosters for student activities, athletics, or other aspects of your campus, you can consider increasing sponsorship opportunities to include safety solutions. Examples of sponsorships may extend to athletic and event spaces, be part of an ongoing sponsorship, or gifted as part of a larger donation.
COMMUNITY AND PARENT-FUNDING
When it comes to the safety of our students, faculty, and staff—most parents and community members are willing to pitch in for the cause. Crowd-funding or fundraising drives to cover gun detection can be very successful, and help raise awareness of safety needs overall. In many instances, ZeroEyes can be deployed for just a few dollars per student each year, covering all or most of the solution.

How it works
AI Detection
ZeroEyes connects to existing security cameras and monitors streaming video feeds for firearms. The AI image classification system processes thousands of images per second and immediately notifies trained personnel in the ZeroEyes Operation Center if an image appears to contain a firearm.
Human Verification
All ZeroEyes firearm detections are reviewed immediately by a technician in the ZOC (ZeroEyes Operation Center.) Technicians only review images in which a suspected firearm has been detected.
Rapid Response
As soon as a technician has verified a suspected firearm, ZeroEyes systems notify system administrators in the facility in which the detection occurred and law enforcement via the local 911 center. Authorities are told the number and location of suspected shooters.
Need Help Paying for Gun Detection for Your School?
Did you know that there are millions of dollars allocated to each state for various school safety and violence prevention initiatives?
Many schools and school districts want to protect their campuses from gun violence but struggle when it comes to budget. We have a grant writing team and experts who can help you find and apply for funding available in your state.
In some cases, the funds expire or are 'first-come-first serve' so getting your application in early is key to being a recipient.
Save time. Save lives.
ZeroEyes software achieves a level of vigilance that is difficult for any security team to match. The speed at which the ZeroEyes team is able to recognize potential threats and dispatch law enforcement to the scene, armed with critical information about a potential shooter, saves lives.
