Guardian knows instantly that it was, indeed, a gunshot, which sets the communication in motion to emergency responders and school staff. It’s all about “erasing” time.
Over $45 million dollars of research and development has been invested by the US Government and a defense contractor to mature this capability. The technology has saved the lives of countless military men and women overseas.
We have repurposed that military grade technology specifically for a school environment. The Guardian devices are barely visible to teachers and children walking by them in the halls – no more visible than a fire alarm.
Many corporations and public venues have installed the system but only a handful of schools due to budgetary issues. It just takes too long to get this lifesaving technology installed in schools.
That’s why we’re doing this crowdfunding campaign. Contribute to this campaign and you will help us erase precious response time and save lives.
Your contributions to the “Early Response to Active Shooter Events” campaign, no matter where you are from, will go towards the installation of Guardian Active Shooter Detection Systems in those 50 schools.
If yours is the school district that raises the most funds per pupil in your state (and your state raises more than $20,000 total), then your district will be awarded the prized technology. After that, it will be up to your superintendent to decide which school will get Guardian installed.
If we are successful, one school in every state will be protected with Guardian technology.

Though our campaign goal at the top-right of this page says “$20,000” our ambitions are far greater. Indiegogo’s rules require that a campaign exceed its stated goal in order to receive the money it raises. So that $20,000 will only cover one school. If that’s all we get, we will still be happy to at least protect one school.
$20,000 = 1 school
$1,000,000 = 50 schools
But the maker of Guardian is offering its lifesaving technology at cost (no profit to them) to up to 50 schools if we can raise the money through this campaign. Our real goal, then, is $1,000,000.
It’s ambitious, but we can do it with your help.
