This Security Technology Could Save Lives—And It’s Now Free for K–12 Schools
August 11, 2025
On July 28, 2025, a gunman carrying a visible M4-style rifle walked into a Midtown Manhattan office building and opened fire. Four lives were lost, including an off-duty NYPD officer. Security cameras captured the moment—but no alerts were triggered. No warnings were issued. There was no chance to intervene.
Shortly after the tragedy, our partner, RAD (Robotic Assistance Devices), processed the same video footage using their firearm detection technology. Their system identified the weapon before the suspect reached the front doors.
This wasn’t a hypothetical. It was a demonstration of how enhanced detection and response tools can drastically improve how we control access and protect people.
“Bailey’s Promise”: A Commitment to Safer Schools
In a significant initiative, RAD recently launched Bailey’s Promise, offering its firearm detection technology to every K–12 school in the United States at no cost. There are no licensing fees, subscriptions, or hidden charges.
This program honors the memory of a young student lost to school violence and is designed to provide all schools, regardless of size or budget, access to proactive threat detection systems.

More Than Surveillance—A Smarter Layer of Security
Whether you’re securing a school, office building, house of worship, hospital, or event venue, you need more than cameras. You need technology that sees the threat and acts.
With our partnership, DK Security brings RAD’s firearm detection systems directly to your location—deployed through devices like:
- ROSA – Rapid-response unit for entrances and open areas
- RIO – Solar-powered tower for outdoor and remote monitoring

Together, these tools give your team early warning, visual and audio deterrents, and the ability to alert law enforcement before a threat escalates.
Addressing the Security Needs of Vulnerable Environments
RAD’s detection technology is proving invaluable in environments at heightened risk, including:
-
K–12 schools, where rapid threat identification is critical
