WTC Fiber Helps USD 320 Enhance School Safety Through Advanced AI Technology

Local technology provider assists with integrating AI-powered gun detection across Wamego schools, building on the district's existing WTC Fiber services.

WAMEGO, Kan. — November 4, 2026 — WTC Fiber assisted USD 320 with the integration of ZeroEyes, an AI-powered gun detection and intelligent situational awareness platform, into the district's existing security infrastructure to enhance school safety. The technology has been deployed across all Wamego schools, adding another layer of protection for nearly 1,600 students and district staff.

"When it comes to our local schools, we're always willing to help however we can," said Rod Sackrider, Network Operations Manager at WTC Fiber. "USD 320 has made school safety a priority, and we're proud we could help them build on the technology they already have in place. It's rewarding to know our services can play a role in bringing additional safety measures to the students and staff in our community."

USD 320 has taken a proactive approach to school safety, implementing multiple layers of security, including advanced surveillance cameras, electronic access control, and a School Resource Officer. The addition of ZeroEyes further strengthens these existing measures by providing real-time firearm detection and actionable intelligence to school officials and law enforcement.

"Having a local company like WTC Fiber that understands our existing systems has been a tremendous benefit," said Scott Meitler, Assistant Superintendent at USD 320. "Their team helped us integrate this new technology with the services we already have in place, making the process much easier. We're grateful for their support as we continue looking for ways to strengthen safety across our schools."

For WTC Fiber, the project reflects an ongoing commitment to helping local schools and organizations make the most of their technology investments. By assisting with the integration of new solutions into existing infrastructure, WTC helps customers expand their capabilities and adapt to evolving technology needs.
