Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions’ wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) has launched Bailey’s Promise, a nationwide initiative offering up to 10 of RAD’s real-time firearm detection AI software license to every K–12 school in the United States.

While the firearm detection software license is provided free of charge, a one-time $499 onboarding fee and a $99 monthly service cost help ensure each school’s system is properly configured, fully supported and always ready to respond. These fees cover up to 10 existing IP cameras. Schools or districts wishing to expand coverage beyond 10 cameras may do so at a discounted rate of 50% off the standard per-camera license fee.

This software-only solution enables schools to upgrade their existing surveillance camera systems into intelligent firearm detection systems, delivering rapid alerts and initiating emergency protocols when a visible weapon is detected.

Bailey’s Promise builds upon the foundation of RAD’s earlier campaign, Bailey’s Gift, which donated firearm detection hardware to a limited number of schools.

The initiative is named in honor of Bailey Holt, a kind and vibrant 15-year-old who was killed during a school shooting in 2018. Since then, her mother, Secret Holt, has been a passionate advocate for RAD’s mission and has played an active role in both the Bailey’s Gift and Bailey’s Promise campaigns.

“The fact that RAD is now offering this technology to every school means everything to me,” Holt said. “No school should hesitate. If this software can help prevent even one tragedy, it’s worth it. Time is a thief, and it doesn’t discriminate. The next victim could be anyone’s child. I truly hope every school in the country takes this opportunity to protect their students.”

“We hear it every time, thoughts, prayers, statements of concern, promises to do better,” Steve Reinharz, CEO, chief technology officer and founder of AITX and RAD, said. “But now the technology exists to actually do better, and we are removing every excuse not to act. Bailey’s Promise gives every school the power to detect firearms before a tragedy unfolds. It costs nothing. It requires no new hardware. What more do we need? If we truly care about protecting our kids, the time to act is right now.”
