How It Works

Most solutions focused on school violence are focused on reflexive or responsive measures i.e. physical security, active shooter training, exercises, social media analysis. While these measures are critical, they are only beneficial when a violent event is pending or ongoing.  To date, there has been minimal attempts to leverage the vast stores of data and information available from school systems, law enforcement, open source, social media and darkweb data to conduct predictive analytics to mitigate school violence.

The Safe Campus is designed to leverage Blue Light’s proprietary Blue Fusion application to collect and aggregate data from disparate sources from sensitive data to open source, darkweb and social media data in such a way that an analyst can conduct simultaneous queries, or what is known as federated searches of that data.

Those queries and subsequent analyses are conducted using advanced tools and technologies to apply complex analyses such as link analysis, geospatial analysis, temporal analysis to provide schools with the ability to identify problematic individuals that could pose a threat to the school. Based on IBM i2® Analyst Notebook and combined with anonymous texting platforms such as STOPit™, the platform provides schools with a powerful, proven application that uses existing data and social networks to get ahead of violence before it happens.
