ZeroEyes, a Montgomery County firm that created an AI-based gun detection video analytics platform, continues getting its technology into nationwide organizations. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada has chosen the company for wide-scale implementation of the technology.
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada is the first transit agency in the United States to deploy weapons detection analytics fully. Under the terms of the agreement, the transit agency is adding ZeroEyes to its state-of-the-art network to protect residents and visitors against gun-related violence, according to a press release.
The agency oversees public transportation, traffic management, roadway design, construction funding, transportation and regional planning efforts for the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area. With a transit fleet of 39 routes served by more than 400 vehicles, the agency carries more than 50 million riders per year.
“RTC prides itself on its ability to identify transportation challenges and implement solutions,” MJ Maynard, CEO of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, said in a statement. “Tens of thousands of people depend on our transit system every day, and we continually look for ways to improve their safety and security.”
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, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained military and law enforcement veterans.
If the experts at the center determine a threat is valid, they will dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including a visual description, gun type, and last known location — to local law enforcement and RTC staff within 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
“RTC has set a new standard in security by becoming the nation’s first transit agency to execute wide-scale deployment of weapons detection analytics to protect its citizens,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO of ZeroEyes.
The solution, the company has previously said, “mitigates mass shootings and gun-related violence by reducing response times, providing actionable intelligence with images and delivering clarity among chaos — ultimately saving lives.”
ZeroEyes said that United Safety & Survivability Group, known in the transit industry and ZeroEyes’ transit reseller, worked to facilitate the deployment of the company’s gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software across the agency’s cameras for a 1-year deployment contract.
“The safety of operators and passengers is central to our mission at United Safety,” Joseph Mirabile, CEO of United Safety, said in a statement. “We are thrilled that RTC, a longstanding partner benefiting from our diverse safety products, acknowledges the significant impact ZeroEyes can bring to its transit system.”
ZeroEyes was founded by a group of former Navy SEALs and technologists and is based in Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County. The company’s patented solution is recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a promising anti-terrorism technology and is the first video analytics technology to receive SAFETY Act DT&E Designation.
The platform is deployed across a variety of industries nationwide, including school districts, commercial property groups, shopping malls, places of worship, hospitals, military bases, manufacturing plants, casinos and Fortune 500 campuses. The ZeroEyes team also provides consulting, installation assistance and practice drills for active shooter events to enhance safety at schools, corporate and government facilities.
A recent Review-Journal letter to the editor mischaracterized Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, also known as the Clark County Lands bill. As the former executive director of the Nevada Conservation League, I wholeheartedly support this legislation, so I wanted to set the record straight.
Sen. Cortez Masto has been working on this bill for years in partnership with state and local governments, conservation groups like the NCL and local area tribes. It’s true that the Clark County lands bill would open 25,000 acres to help Las Vegas grow responsibly, while setting aside 2 million acres for conservation. It would also help create more affordable housing throughout the valley while ensuring our treasured public spaces can be preserved for generations to come.
What is not correct is that the money from these land sales would go to the federal government’s coffers. In fact, the opposite is true.
The 1998 Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act is a landmark bill that identified specific public land for future sale and created a special account ensuring all land sale revenues would come back to Nevada. In accordance with that law 5 percent of revenue from land transfers goes to the state of Nevada for general education purposes, 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority for needed water infrastructure and 85 percent supports conservation and environmental mitigation projects in Southern Nevada. This legislation has provided billions to Clark County and will continue to benefit generations of Southern Nevadans. Sen. Cortez Masto’s lands bill builds upon the act’s success.
So here’s the good news: All of the money generated from land made available for sale under Sen. Cortez Masto’s bill would be sent to the special account created by the 1998 law. Rather than going to an unaccountable federal government, the proceeds would continue to help kids in Vegas get a better education, bolster outdoor recreation and modernize Southern Nevada’s infrastructure.
I know how important it is that money generated from the sale of public land in Nevada stay in the hands of Nevadans, and so does the senator. That’s why she opposed a Republican effort last year to sell off 200,000 acres of land in Clark County and other areas of the country that would have sent those dollars directly to Washington.
Public land management in Nevada should benefit Nevadans. We should protect sacred cultural sites and beloved recreation spaces, responsibly transfer land for affordable housing when needed and ensure our state has the resources it needs to grow sustainably. I will continue working with Sen. Cortez Masto to advocate for legislation, such as the Clark County lands bill, that puts the needs of Nevadans first.
