RAD Launches Bailey’s Promise, Offering Free Firearm Detection To Every U.S. K–12 School
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), has launched Bailey’s Promise, a nationwide initiative offering up to 10 of RAD’s real-time firearm detection AI software licenses to every K–12 school in the U.S. at zero cost. This software-only solution removes the barriers of high cost, enabling schools to upgrade their existing surveillance camera systems into intelligent firearm detection systems, delivering rapid alerts and initiating emergency protocols when a visible weapon is detected.
The initiative is named in honor of Bailey Holt, a kind and vibrant 15-year-old who was killed during a school shooting in 2018. Since then, her mother, Secret Holt, has been a passionate advocate for RAD’s mission and has played an active role in both the Bailey’s Gift and Bailey’s Promise campaigns.
The software works with most modern IP-based security cameras and requires no special hardware or reconfiguration. It runs alongside a school’s existing security systems, adding powerful firearm detection capabilities without disrupting current operations. The process is simple, the impact is immediate, and the system is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing school systems.
Each school that enrolls in Bailey’s Promise receives a free license covering up to 10 camera connections. Additional camera integrations beyond the initial 10 can be added at a discounted rate of 50% off the standard per-camera license fee, ensuring broader coverage remains accessible and affordable.
The system identifies visible firearms in fractions of a second and autonomously executes predetermined response protocols. These may include activating visual and audible alerts, initiating mobile notifications, emergency escalations, and integrations with lockdown or mass notification systems. This level of real-time detection and engagement can provide schools with critical seconds to act, potentially saving lives and minimizing harm.
While the firearm detection software license is provided free of charge, a one-time onboarding fee of $499 and a monthly service cost of $99 help ensure that each school’s system is properly configured, fully supported, and always ready to respond.
