A high school in suburban Chicago was awarded a grant to implement AI-powered gun detection technology. <\/p>\n
Oak Lawn Community High School District 229 was one of 50 recipients selected nationwide for the Omnilert Secure Schools Grant Program, the school said in a recent announcement. <\/p>\n
The district was awarded a three-year license for Omnilert Gun Detect, an “advanced AI-powered gun detection technology” — at no cost. <\/p>\n
The AI system identifies firearms “in real-time through existing security camera infrastructure,” the announcement said. <\/p>\n
Once a potential threat is identified, the AI system activates a rapid response process by alerting school officials and law enforcement, ultimately ensuring that threats can be addressed “as quickly and effectively as possible,” the announcement said. <\/p>\n
The implementation of the AI system aligns with District 229’s security strategy, that includes a combination of physical safety measures, emergency preparedness and mental health resources, the announcement said. <\/p>\n
The school said staff training and safety drills will be done to ensure the technology is used effectively and responsibly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A high school in suburban Chicago was awarded a grant to implement AI-powered gun detection technology.
