Harborwatch will also provide access to seamless risk financing and crisis management programs to help members strengthen resilience and better navigate the aftermath of qualifying firearm-related events. Harborwatch’s risk financing and crisis management will assist schools with unforeseen expenses in the following hours, days, and weeks, including operational disruptions, crisis communications, counseling resources, additional security measures and other recovery-related costs that can strain already limited budgets. Some of the unforeseen, second-order financial expenses include heightened student absenteeism, staff absence following the event, spoiled perishables, transportation disruption, and overtime hours.

ZeroEyes’ AI threat detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a brandished firearm is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center, a U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center. 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.

“As schools continue to navigate an increasingly complex security and risk environment, solutions like ours represent a new approach to proactive safety, combining advanced threat detection with seamless recovery support when communities need it most,” said Mike Lahiff, co-founder and CEO, ZeroEyes. “By bringing together risk management and risk financing resources within a single membership organization, Harborwatch will help school districts take a more comprehensive approach to firearm-related risk while supporting safer, more secure learning environments.”
