The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office delivers comprehensive law enforcement services to the unincorporated areas of Washoe County, Nevada’s second-most populous county. Organized into three primary bureaus — administrative, detention, and operations — the agency plays a vital role in advancing public safety, operational excellence, and strong community partnerships across the region. The Office includes 508 commissioned deputies, more than 300 civilian personnel, and a dedicated network of volunteers. The addition of ZeroEyes across county civic facilities, including courthouses and election sites, will further strengthen the Sheriff’s Office’s ability to maintain a safe and secure environment throughout the diverse and growing community.

“The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office’s distinction as the first law enforcement agency in the state of Nevada to deploy an AI-powered gun detection system reflects true leadership and forward-thinking public safety strategy,” said Thad Debolt, president of Stonemont Security Solutions. “This initiative underscores the Sheriff’s unwavering commitment not only to preventing gun violence and enhancing safety throughout Washoe County, but also to supporting and protecting the deputies who serve on the front lines each day. His dedication to leveraging innovative technology demonstrates a profound responsibility to both the community and the men and women who risk their lives to keep it safe.”

“The launch of ZeroEyes at our Sheriff’s Office facility marks an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to enhance security and preparedness,” says Sheriff Darin Balaam. “As the first law enforcement office in the state to utilize ZeroEyes, we are taking deliberate action to enhance situational awareness and response capabilities within our operations. Protecting our personnel and community is a top priority, and this technology adds an important layer of safety in support of that mission. We are hopeful that the success of this implementation will pave the way for expansion to additional facilities in Washoe County, further strengthening our ability to proactively safeguard our community.”

ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry’s only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to law enforcement as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.

“Safety is a shared responsibility, and technology can make a difference,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “By integrating ZeroEyes into Washoe County’s civic facilities, we can provide everyone who lives, works, and visits the community with an extra sense of security.”
