Sarasota County Schools has deployed Omnilert's Gun Detect system across 4,800 cameras, making it the largest of its kind in Florida. The AI-powered system provides 24/7 monitoring, automatically locking doors, notifying police, and triggering alarms at the first sight of a gun. With over 45,000 students and 5,200 staff across 56 schools, the district expanded after a successful high school pilot. Superintendent Terry Connor emphasized the importance of layered safety technology in maintaining a secure learning environment for students and staff

As part of their comprehensive security strategy, Hooksett School District in New Hampshire became the first in the state to install the Shooter Detection Systems (SDS) Indoor Gunshot Detection System. Chosen for its proven zero-false alert record and seamless integration with the school's existing security infrastructure, SDS's system was implemented following a thorough review by the Hooksett School Board. In collaboration with the New Hampshire Department of Homeland Security, local police, and fire departments, the district also enhanced its emergency protocols, including training staff on active shooter procedures. Additional investments were made in video surveillance and communication systems across the district
