Tackling Our Nation ’ s Most Troubling Challenges
A world leader in biometric , face recognition and computer vision solutions , Rank One Computing ( ROC . ai ) is excited to introduce its local Safer Schools Initiative .

We are dedicated to creating cutting-edge solutions that will help build a safer future for children and educators everywhere ,” says ROC . ai CEO Scott Swann .
Leading the Future of Proactive , Intelligent Technology Solutions
The ROC Watch live video analytics platform seamlessly integrates into most school-based camera systems , providing enhanced security via proactive , real-time monitoring and an efficient virtual badgeless visitor management system that :
• Approves or denies visitors before they enter the premises .
• Detects incidents , intruders and the presence of weapons .
• Provides smart alerts for any device .
• Locates missing children within the premises .
SEE ROC WATCH IN ACTION 1 Detection and Prevention
Local law enforcement and school administrators collaborate on proactive watchlists of prohibited individuals , including discharged employees and expelled students . ROC Watch automatically sends alerts to school security and designated authorities .
2 Crisis Response
ROC Watch can detect a long gun near the building entrance , instantly notifying local authorities to restrict access . It flags unapproved visitors attempting to pick up children from school , informing security or staff to intervene .
3 Post-Crisis Response
During an evacuation , ROC Watch quickly counts children to ensure no one is missing . It can identify a missing student ’ s current location , with or without a face in view , and trace their movement across multiple camera streams .
To ensure a successful rollout , ROC . ai collaborated closely with 54 schools in four West Virginia districts , joining forces to optimize the technology , meet world-class standards of privacy , accuracy , speed and precision and tackle one of our nation ’ s most severe challenges .
The ROC . ai Safer Schools Initiative wouldn ’ t be possible without West Virginia ’ s school districts , superintendents , state police , senators , the WV Department of Homeland Security , and the WV Office of Technology .
