PHILADELPHIA, April 3, 2024 ~ In a move to enhance the safety and security of its congregation, Canyon Hills Community Church has announced its partnership with ZeroEyes, the creators of an AI-based gun detection video analytics platform. The company's solution has been designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as part of the SAFETY Act.
Located in the suburbs just thirty minutes north of Seattle, Canyon Hills Community Church is a non-denominational, elder-led church that was founded in 1995. With a growing attendance of over 4,000 people each weekend and several hundred during the week for bible study and youth groups, the church has recognized the need for increased security measures.
According to data from the United States Justice Department, 17.3% of all hate crimes are motivated by bias against religion. Additionally, research from The ZeroEyes Gun Violence Research Center reveals that in incidents involving religious organizations, 38% of shooters had no affiliation with the place of worship.
In light of these statistics and their commitment to ensuring a safe environment for their members, Canyon Hills Community Church has chosen to implement ZeroEyes' proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution. This decision aligns with their belief that while their building serves as a place of worship, the true priority is the safety and well-being of their people.

Jon Huff, Operations Director at Canyon Hills Community Church, stated: "Our commitment to creating a secure environment for worship and fellowship has never been stronger. As protectors of our flock, we've always prioritized the safety of our community. With ZeroEyes, we are equipped to not only react to potential threats but to prevent them, helping to ensure peace of mind for everyone who walks through our doors."
ZeroEyes' technology integrates with existing digital security cameras and uses AI algorithms to detect guns in real-time. Once a gun is identified, images are immediately sent to their Operations Center (ZOC), which is staffed 24/7/365 by trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If the threat is deemed valid, alerts and actionable intelligence are dispatched to local law enforcement and church staff within 3 to 5 seconds of detection.
Mike Lahiff, CEO of ZeroEyes, commended Canyon Hills Community Church for their proactive approach to security in the face of increasing hostility and threats towards places of worship. He stated: "At a time when places of worship are experiencing increased hostility and threats, Canyon Hills Community Church is setting a standard for others to follow. We're honored to be the first proactive security technology they've adopted, and we commend them for their efforts to ensure a safe environment for their members."
