Case Study: Hernando County School District achieves AI-driven gun detection and rapid, district-wide emergency communication with CrisisGo

Making Every Second Count with the Most Robust Emergency Management Platform Paired with AI-Driven Gun Detection

Hernando County School District, a Florida district of 29 schools serving about 24,000 students, faced aging access controls, end-of-life cameras, and communication barriers in buildings built to withstand hurricanes after the Parkland tragedy—creating an urgent need to modernize emergency response. The district selected CrisisGo’s emergency management platform (paired with AI-driven gun detection from ZeroEyes) to provide real-time, two-way alerting, targeted notifications, and daily safety tools that could overcome those structural and infrastructure challenges.

CrisisGo was implemented districtwide alongside upgraded cameras and ZeroEyes AI, enabling automatic firearm detection and the rapid dissemination of detailed alerts (including images and camera names) to staff, SROs, and law enforcement. The combined solution narrowed response times to mere seconds, added wearable panic buttons, PTT radios, a Risk Management Dashboard, and reunification and archiving tools for accountability—giving Hernando County School District faster situational awareness and a measurable improvement in emergency communications and incident prevention.
