Executive Education Academy Charter School Deploys ZeroEyes AI Gun Detection and Intelligent Situational Awareness Technology
Executive Education Academy Charter School in Allentown, Pennsylvania deployed ZeroEyes' AI gun detection platform across its 500,000-square-foot K-12 campus to enhance security for 1,735 students and 300 staff members.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZeroEyes, creators of the leading multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, today announced that its AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness platform has been deployed by Pennsylvania’s Executive Education Academy Charter School to help protect students, staff, and visitors against gun-related violence.
Located on the east side of Allentown, Pennsylvania, Executive Education Academy Charter School serves 1,735 students and employs approximately 300 staff members in a two-level K-12 building. The 500,000-square-foot campus also includes a field house with four gyms and a new football stadium currently under construction.
As part of its comprehensive security strategy, the school continues to invest in advanced safety infrastructure, including access control systems, security cameras, and perimeter protection technologies. ZeroEyes will enhance these efforts by providing proactive AI gun detection coverage across the school campus and athletic facilities, supporting faster threat awareness and response capabilities.
“Safety is our number one priority,” said Bob Lysek, CEO and founder of Executive Education Academy Charter School. “We have built strong relationships with local law enforcement and continuously evaluate technologies that can help us better protect our students, staff, and community. After researching the available solutions and speaking with the ZeroEyes team, it became clear that their experience, professionalism, and proactive approach made them the right fit for our campus.”
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 operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to law enforcement and school security teams, often in a matter of seconds from the moment a gun is detected.
“Executive Education Academy Charter School has demonstrated a strong commitment to proactive campus safety and community protection,” said Mike Lahiff, co-founder and CEO of ZeroEyes. “By combining advanced security technologies with strong operational planning and law enforcement partnerships, the school is taking meaningful steps to help create a safer environment for students, staff, and visitors.”
