ZeroEyes, the creators of the only AI-based gun detection video analytics platform that holds the U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, recently announced that its proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution has been deployed by Germantown Academy (GA) in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania to protect students, staff and visitors from gun-related violence. Founded in 1759, GA is the country’s oldest non-sectarian day school.

Germantown Academy is a private pre-K-12 prep school based in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The 126-acre campus includes multiple education and administrative buildings, as well as outdoor common spaces and athletic facilities. GA educates 1,200-plus students and employs more than 350 staff members annually, including a 45-member security team. This is the latest addition to the comprehensive and multilayered range of security measures the academy has implemented to defend against gun-related violence.
