In an effort to proactively protect its congregants against gun-related threats, Valley Baptist Church in Bakersfield, California has recently adopted artificial intelligence (AI)-based gun detection.
Valley Baptist Church was established in 1985 and has since grown to encompass four campuses with 15 pastors, 8,000 members and a 280-student pre-school. The congregation has recently placed significant focus and emphasis on church campus safety, hiring its first director of safety and security.
