“Our Firearm Detection software has demonstrated its effectiveness in real-world scenarios, and receiving this designation will expand our potential market to the greatest possible extent,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD. “We are committed to providing advanced security solutions that protect lives and enhance safety across various environments.”
The SAFETY Act, or Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002, provides liability protections to companies that develop and deploy effective anti-terrorism technologies. Achieving this designation will not only bolster RAD’s credibility but also offer significant legal protections, encouraging broader adoption of its firearm detection software. Many end users, including major entertainment venues require vendors to have SAFETY Act designation.
RAD’s Firearm Detection software (aka gun detection) leverages advanced AI to detect firearms in real-time, seamlessly integrating with existing security camera systems. The software provides immediate alerts to security personnel and law enforcement, ensuring rapid response and potentially saving lives in critical situations.
To support and expedite the SAFETY Act designation process, the Company has engaged a renowned consultant with extensive experience in navigating the DHS’ certification process. This strategic partnership is expected to expedite the designation, ensuring that RAD’s Firearm Detection software solutions meet the highest standards of safety and reliability as swiftly as possible.
“Achieving SAFETY Act designation will be a pivotal milestone for RAD, significantly enhancing our ability to accelerate and expand our sales efforts,” said Troy McCanna, RAD’s Chief Security Officer and former FBI senior agent in charge of tactical operations in Michigan and Ohio. “This designation will provide our prospective clients with the required legal protection required which will help create numerous new opportunities.”
“Breaking the monopoly position that ZeroEyes has enjoyed with the SAFETY Act designation is a testament to the competitive and innovative spirit at RAD,” Reinharz continued. “We believe in a diverse marketplace where multiple technologies can coexist and collectively enhance public safety. Our solution is ready to set new standards in firearm detection.”
ZeroEyes recently announced they are seeking an additional $50 million in funding to add to the approximately $44 million raised to date. The company’s valuations for these raises are not publicly available.
RAD’s application for SAFETY Act designation underscores its dedication to advancing security technology and its ongoing commitment to public safety. The Company looks forward to collaborating with DHS throughout the evaluation process and remains optimistic about the positive impact this designation will have on its operations and the broader security industry.
