How Protector AI Helps Prevent School Fights: The Experience of School No. 23 in Petropavlovsk

In a year of using Protector AI, Petropavlovsk secondary school No. 23 reduced the number of daily alerts about aggressive student behavior from 20 to 10. School staff can now respond to conflicts within 3–5 minutes of them starting. School principal Natalya Alimova shared her experience with the system and explained how intelligent video analytics helps not only detect aggression but also carry out preventive work with students.

How a fight between students was stopped in time

One telling case happened when a conflict broke out between two students. One of the boys was physically much stronger than the other and began using physical aggression.

At that moment, Protector AI sent a fight alert. Thanks to the timely signal, teachers were able to step in quickly and stop the conflict from escalating.

The student who had attacked was surprised at how quickly school staff responded.

However, further conversations with the students showed that the incident had a more complex background. It turned out that the boy who used physical aggression had been subjected to verbal bullying for a long time.

This case showed how important it is not only to notice aggression in time, but also to understand the causes of conflicts. After the incident, teachers were able to do the necessary work with the students and look into the circumstances of what happened.

What changed after a year with Protector AI

According to principal Natalya, right after the system was installed the school received up to 20 alerts a day about aggressive student behavior. A year after going live, that figure has dropped to 10 alerts a day.

That means the number of alerts has fallen by roughly 50%.

The principal has noticed that students have become more responsible about their behavior, because they understand that aggression can be spotted in time and will not go unnoticed by teachers.

From reacting after the fact to intervening quickly

Without intelligent video analytics, school staff may only learn about a fight or aggression when other students or parents draw attention to it. In such cases the information often arrives after the negative consequences have already occurred.

Protector AI analyzes the video stream from cameras and, when it detects signs of potentially dangerous behavior, sends an alert to the responsible staff.

According to the school, this allows staff to respond to a conflict within 3–5 minutes of it starting.

This approach lets teachers notice what is happening sooner, assess the situation, and step in if needed before the conflict develops further.

"Better to be over-vigilant than to put out a raging fire later"

Principal Natalya believes one of Protector AI's main values is that it lets the school avoid leaving potentially dangerous situations unnoticed.

"Protector is a system that helps you be over-vigilant. And it's better to be over-vigilant than to put out a raging fire later," is how the principal describes her approach to keeping students safe.

Natalya has observed that while using Protector AI, children have become more responsible about their own actions. Being able to detect aggressive behavior in time helps the school pay more attention to preventing conflicts and building a safe environment.

Protector AI as an additional safety tool in schools

The experience of Petropavlovsk secondary school No. 23 is part of a broader rollout of intelligent video analytics in the region's educational institutions.

Today, around 30 schools in North Kazakhstan Region already use Protector AI to improve student safety. The rollout shows how video analytics can support teachers' work: helping to identify potentially dangerous situations in time, respond quickly to aggression, and focus more on conflict prevention.

Protector AI helps educational institutions in North Kazakhstan Region build a more proactive approach to safety, where it matters not only to deal with the consequences of a conflict but also to spot the signs of a potential threat in time.
