Detroit Auto Show latest city event to be
secured by advanced weapons detection screening technology
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons
detection security screening, today announced the company will work
with the Detroit Police Department (DPD) to secure the upcoming
Detroit Auto Show taking place from September 14 – 25 at Huntington
Place in Detroit, MI. The DPD began employing Evolv Express®
systems around the city this past summer to provide an additional
layer of safety and comfort among residents.
Built with powerful sensor technology and artificial
intelligence, Evolv Express instantly distinguishes weapons from
personal items, enabling people to walk through security without
breaking stride or emptying pockets or bags and allowing security
professionals to better focus on addressing possible threats. The
advanced weapons detection system screens approximately 4,000
people per hour, operating 10x faster than a metal detector while
identifying the precise location of a potential weapon.
The DPD has been using Evolv Express outdoor dual-lane units at
nightclubs in the city’s Greektown restaurant and nightlife
district as well as major events, including the Movement Music
Festival, Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, and the 64th annual Ford
Fireworks which drew over 100,000 attendees and resulted in
zero-gun violence at the July celebration.
“Evolv has aided our officers in enhancing security at large
events and special details,” said Detroit Police Department Chief
James White. “This technology acts as a force multiplier for the
DPD, as the systems now allow us to reallocate some officers from
security screening to other areas in need.”
“Our mission is to make the world safer for people to work,
learn, live and play,” said Peter George, CEO and President of
Evolv Technology. “Our work with the City of Detroit is an
excellent example of how we collaborate with local law enforcement
to help create weapons-free zones that allow residents to feel
comfortable in the spaces they gather.”
Evolv Express was selected as part of the City’s 2022 Community
Policing Strategy with the objective of supplementing the
intelligence-driven community policing strategy with the most
proven and advanced policing technologies available on the market.
The Detroit Auto Show is expected to draw over 800,000 visitors
over the course of the two-week event.
