GUN DETECTION SOLUTION

Preparing for the Worst Case

No organization wants to think about the day when an emergency might occur at their facility, especially an active shooter, but every organization must be prepared. Mass shootings have been on a steady rise since the nineties, when the Columbine High School massacre brought attention to the vulnerabilities in school security and student safety. The tragedy at Virginia Tech in 2007 made campus safety top of mind for administrators, faculty, staff, parents, and students. High schools, colleges, and businesses responded by creating emergency response plans and implementing active shooter notification systems.

An emergency response plan is only as effective as the tools and communication channels that support it. Being able to facilitate clear communication and connect with the impacted community is critical to mitigating the impact of a violent incident and coordinating effectively with first responders. Additionally, The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to issue timely active shooter warnings and emergency notifications in the case of a violent attacker.

Solution Overview

Administrators can’t predict violence, but they can minimize the impact.  By preconfiguring actions, issuing active shooter notifications, and providing instructions on how to respond, you’re positioned for the best possible outcome.

In addition to the ability to immediately trigger multi-channel alerts and automated pre-defined safety protocols, Omnilert offers the industry’s first visual gun detection solution. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), Omnilert Gun Detect reliably and rapidly recognizes firearms. 

The combination of these rich capabilities provides safety teams with the broadest array of solutions, spanning prevention, notification, engagement, and management.
