Our systems are designed to identify, assess, and respond to potential security threats in real-time, helping to keep Berkeley High and West Campus safe. With GAT Force, Berkeley Unified can benefit from:

• 24/7 Threat Detection: Our state-of-the-art AI monitors school premises and surrounding areas continuously, identifying any potential risks before they escalate. This round-the-clock surveillance aids in deterring unauthorized access, ensuring a secure environment even during off-hours.
• Behavioral Analysis and Anomaly Detection: Using machine learning algorithms, our systems detect irregular patterns and suspicious behavior. From monitoring public entrances to identifying unusual patterns in visitor behavior, this technology ensures that unusual activities are promptly flagged and addressed.

This seamless communication ensures quick coordination in emergencies, minimizing response time and enhancing safety outcomes.

Protecting Student Privacy with Responsible AI

Data privacy is a cornerstone of our approach. GAT Force’s AI solutions are designed with strict privacy safeguards, ensuring that student and staff information remains secure and protected. We align with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and adhere to best practices in data security, implementing access controls and anonymization where appropriate to protect student privacy without compromising security.

Proactive Education and Training

Security goes beyond technology; awareness and preparedness are equally vital. GAT Force offers training for Berkeley Unified’s staff, administrators, and security personnel to ensure they are well-versed in security protocols and emergency response procedures. Key components of our training programs include:

• Situational Awareness Workshops: Helping school personnel recognize potential risks and respond effectively.
• Emergency Preparedness Drills: Coordinating with school administration to conduct regular lockdown, evacuation, and active threat drills.
• Digital Security Training for Students: Empowering students to engage safely in the digital environment, enhancing their understanding of online privacy and cyber threat awareness.
