It will be led by VP of Partnerships Claude Haskins, along with Director of Partnerships Chad Spiller, and newly appointed VP of Channel Partnerships Darren Crawford.

We have assembled a stellar team to drive this effort, and I look forward to their success.”
Darren Crawford previously served as the North American sales leader for Seneca, an Arrow Company, responsible for driving revenue growth and providing field sales leadership. In his new role, he will help the security integrator (SI) community better understand gun-related threats and offer practical and proactive solutions to overcome reservations they may have about embracing AI and machine vision. Crawford is an Air Force veteran with over 30 years of sales experience, holds a certification for the NFPA 3000, Standard for Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response (ASHER) Program, is Nicet Level IV certified in Fire Alarms, and holds his Physical Security Professional (PSP) certification with ASIS.
“I have two daughters who went through the American school system, and I was always very concerned about their safety on campus,” said Crawford. “ZeroEyes is providing much-needed peace of mind, and it’s a captivating narrative. I find it truly exciting and am thrilled to be joining the team.”
ZeroEyes provides AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layered onto schools, hospitals, and general buildings’ existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images will instantly be shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they will dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence, including visual description, gun type and last known location, to local staff and law enforcement in as fast as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
