EASTON, MARYLAND — Talbot County Public Schools’ Board of Education heard a Phase 2 weapons-detection presentation on Sept. 9 from Kevin Shafer, the district’s director of operations and maintenance, and Brian Stahl, ZeroEyes’ director of sales. The item sat under New Business on the regular meeting agenda at the Talbot County Education Center. Unlike the night’s Comprehensive Maintenance Plan and Capital Improvement Plan items, the agenda did not mark the ZeroEyes presentation as a vote requested.

The posted briefing deck opens with a TCPS school safety and security list. It names Talbot County Sheriff’s Office school resource officers, secure facilities and security vestibules, security window film, crisis planning under the I Love U Guys Foundation Standard Response Protocol, Centegix, a walk-through weapons detection system labeled Pilot, and camera-based weapons detection labeled Under Consideration.

ZeroEyes’ slides describe a camera-based workflow: a threat approaches; the system identifies a firearm; ZeroEyes verifies and sends alerts to onsite security, the local public-safety answering point, first responders, and other authorized users; then it continues pushing real-time alerts, images, and threat location to responders. Per the ZeroEyes deck, Stahl’s company page lists more than 220 employees, offices in Philadelphia, Honolulu, and Washington, D.C., and a workforce that is more than 80 percent former military veterans.

The Sept. 9 agenda attaches the ZeroEyes PDF as “TCPS Presentation.pdf” under the Phase 2 title. Posted materials for that item do not show a board purchase order, contract award, or adoption vote. Families tracking school safety can follow the same Diligent meeting page for any later action that does request a vote.
