Demand for Evolv Express®, Artificial
Intelligence and Insights Growing Across Elementary, Middle and
High Schools in the U.S.
As gun violence continues to rise, with more school shootings in
2021 than any other year in U.S. history, schools across the
country are relying on Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV) and its
Evolv Express® security screening solution to proactively defuse
the threat of active shooters.
As the leader in weapons detection security screening, Evolv has
expanded the use of Evolv Express, its sensor- and artificial
intelligence-based screening solution, in the Spartanburg, South
Carolina County School District 6. It initially announced that it
had partnered with the school district in early 2020. Evolv Express
detects weapons 10 times faster than metal detectors and
streamlines entry into buildings by scanning 3,600 people per hour,
helping to keep the more than 12,000 Spartanburg students and staff
safe from gun violence.
Since students in the Spartanburg district come and go all day
throughout three main campuses, as well as the nearby Technology
Center, the district’s security requirements included support for
constant throughput of foot traffic and the ability to adjust
sensitivity settings based on threat levels. Evolv Express exceeded
these requirements and streamlined the bag check process without
compromising safety. The combination of Evolv Express and the
district’s security staff provides Spartanburg with an additional
line of defense against potential threats.
Spartanburg’s Dr. Mark Smith, director of student services and
safety, led the district’s proactive approach to instituting new
security measures. “We’ve all witnessed the tragedy of school
shootings over the years, and we want to proactively prevent it
from happening in the first place,” Smith said. “In evaluating
options, we considered metal detectors, but they typically flag
everything as a potential threat, causing big delays as every
person entering and every bag would need to be searched. For us,
Evolv’s free-flow weapons detection system was the right
choice.”
Spartanburg relies on Evolv Express, a weapons detection system
that combines powerful sensor technology with proven artificial
intelligence (AI) and comprehensive analytics to provide safer,
more accurate threat detection at an unprecedented speed and
volume.
“Much like Spartanburg, schools across the nation are taking a
proactive stance against the threat of gun violence. We, as a
society, can no longer wait for others to enact change that will
improve the safety of our schools and streets. Instead, we need to
act now, lead by example, and institute policies and technologies
that will protect students today and preserve the future for the
next generation,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv Technology.
