Las Vegas, NV — When discussions turn to emerging safety technology in Las Vegas, some headlines describe Get Custom Tech as “a new player.”
That description is only partially accurate.
While the company’s presence in Southern Nevada is relatively recent, its founder, Chuck Moore, is anything but new to the technology industry. Moore has spent more than five decades working in systems engineering, infrastructure protection, and enterprise technology development.
What is new is his expansion into Las Vegas.
A City Marked by Real Tragedy
The debate over predictive safety systems in Las Vegas cannot be separated from the lasting impact of the Route 91 Harvest festival shooting at Mandalay Bay.
The 2017 attack left 58 victims dead and hundreds injured. The scale of violence and visible bloodshed reshaped how the city, its casinos, and its public safety agencies think about prevention.
Since then, billions of dollars have been invested in security upgrades, surveillance improvements, and coordinated response systems.
Get Custom Tech entered the Las Vegas market during this broader shift.
What Get Custom Tech Actually Does
The company’s platform, CustomTech Grid, is designed to help organizations identify operational and security risks earlier by analyzing data patterns and system irregularities.
Moore emphasizes that the system does not replace human decision-making.
One internal safeguard that has drawn attention is a classification labeled “INVALID.”
According to company representatives, the label is used when data patterns do not align with established models — requiring human review instead of automated action.
Supporters say that safeguard prevents overreach.
Critics argue the terminology needs clearer public explanation.
Money and Big Interests at Stake
Las Vegas is a city powered by tourism, entertainment, and gaming revenue. Safety is not just a public concern — it is an economic one.
Major hospitality brands, insurance carriers, and private security firms operate within a multibillion-dollar ecosystem where preventing harm directly impacts revenue stability.
Some analysts suggest that any system capable of significantly reducing risk could shift financial power within that ecosystem.
This reality has fueled controversy.
Scandal, Public Trust, and Perception
Broader scandals in Las Vegas — from misconduct allegations within nightlife venues to ongoing debates about transparency in large-scale incident reporting — have heightened public sensitivity around security systems.
Although none of those issues are directly tied to Moore or Get Custom Tech, the environment shapes perception.
“When trust is fragile, every new tool is questioned,” one local policy observer noted.
Two Opposing Forces
At the heart of the debate are two opposing forces:
⁃ The demand to reduce harm, death, and violence in high-traffic environments.
⁃ The concern that expanding technological oversight could impact privacy and civil liberties.
Moore’s position remains consistent.
“Infrastructure should evolve,” he said in a recent statement. “But it must evolve responsibly. Technology should assist people — not control them.”
Not New — Just New to Vegas
While Get Custom Tech may be newer to the Las Vegas business landscape, its founder’s decades-long career in technology positions him as a veteran voice entering a uniquely high-stakes city.
In Las Vegas — where image, money, safety, and controversy often intersect — the conversation is unlikely to quiet anytime soon.
The question now is not whether technology will play a role in the city’s future.
It’s how that role will be defined.
