Cities Turn to RAD for Smarter, AI-Powered Public Safety Solutions
Detroit, Michigan, April 14, 2025 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD), today announced recent successes in St. Louis, Missouri, where the Downtown St. Louis Community Improvement District (CID) has embraced RAD’s solutions as part of its public safety initiatives. The CID has deployed multiple ROSA™ security devices, showcased RAD’s ROAMEO™ and RADDOG™ LE2 during the NCAA Frozen Four Championship, and is actively developing a citywide program that would introduce hundreds of RADCam™ units across St. Louis.
From April 10 to 12, RAD’s ROAMEO and RADDOG LE2 were actively deployed in downtown St. Louis as part of the city’s public safety and engagement efforts during the NCAA Frozen Four Championship. These high-visibility units provided an added layer of security, engaged with residents and visitors, and generated strong public interest. Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD, was interviewed on-site by KSDK, the St. Louis NBC affiliate, where he discussed how RAD’s technologies enhance urban safety while fostering meaningful community interaction.

During the event, representatives from several local organizations, including casino operators, professional sports teams, and major property management firms, visited with RAD and the Downtown St. Louis CID to see firsthand how ROAMEO, ROSA, RADDOG LE2, and other RAD security solutions could be used to support safety and operational efficiency in real-world environments.
Of particular interest to many of these organizations was RAD’s multiple SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) and ROSS™ (RAD Operations System Software) platforms. These software solutions allow clients to reimagine the role of their existing security infrastructure by adding an intelligent, agentic AI layer to legacy hardware. By leveraging RAD’s analytics and automation capabilities, organizations can unlock powerful new functionality from their current systems, enhancing performance, accelerating incident response, and delivering significant cost savings without the need for full system replacement.
“RAD’s technology has been an impactful addition to our public safety efforts,” said Kelli McCrary, Executive Director of the Downtown St. Louis CID. “The presence of ROSA, ROAMEO, and RADDOG has not only helped deter unwanted activity, but also brought positive attention and community engagement, especially during the excitement of the Frozen Four Championship. This kind of innovation supports our vision for a safer, more welcoming downtown experience.”
RAD’s momentum extends beyond St. Louis. In Cleveland, RAD partnered with Downtown Cleveland, Inc. to launch a smart security initiative in Public Square, featuring the RIO™ 360 tower with live video integration into the city’s crime center. In Nashville, RAD secured deployments of ROSA and RIO units following a competitive review, with city leadership opting for RAD over traditional security solutions to enhance monitoring and deterrence in key public areas.
As municipalities and CIDs search for scalable, cost-effective ways to secure public spaces, RAD has emerged as a trusted partner in redefining how cities approach safety. From high-traffic districts to major public events, RAD’s AI-powered devices provide 24/7 monitoring, advanced detection capabilities, and autonomous responses that relieve the burden on human personnel. The recent deployments in St. Louis, Cleveland, and Nashville illustrate how RAD’s solutions meet the evolving security needs of urban centers while reinforcing community confidence.
“We’re seeing growing interest from CIDs and public sector organizations that are eager to rethink how they secure their communities,” said Reinharz. “RAD is executing a nationwide campaign to deliver meaningful, affordable, and effective security solutions to cities, towns, and districts across the country. Our technology gives these organizations the tools to protect public spaces, ease the strain on human resources, and deliver a stronger sense of safety for residents and visitors alike.”
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see our devices actively supporting the safety goals of communities like St. Louis, Cleveland, Nashville, and others” said Troy McCanna, Chief Security Officer at RAD. “These deployments represent a shift away from outdated approaches and a move toward intelligent, responsive technology that delivers results. We’re proud to be working hand-in-hand with local leaders who are committed to creating safer urban environments through innovation.”
RAD welcomes inquiries from municipalities, Community Improvement Districts (CIDs), Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Downtown Development Authorities (DDAs), and other organizations focused on public safety and urban revitalization. The Company offers personalized consultations to explore how its AI-powered security solutions can support local safety goals, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen community trust.
