Continued partnership heightens guest
experience while improving safety in New York City
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons
detection security screening, today announced the latest results
from its partnership with Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
(LCPA). The iconic venue, in the heart of New York City, is now
using Evolv’s state-of-the-art Evolv Express® screening solution to
keep visitors safe across its 16-acre campus.
“Lincoln Center is a New York City landmark that draws people
from all over the world,” said Jermaine McLean, captain of security
at LCPA. “Evolv keeps visitors safe without sacrificing their
experience as they come to our events.”
Evolv Express uses powerful sensor technology with artificial
intelligence (AI) to provide safer, more accurate threat detection
at unprecedented volume and speed. The technology enables people to
walk through side-by-side, without always having to remove items
from their pockets or bags, allowing LCPA to eliminate backups that
at one time were so lengthy they caused guests to miss the start of
performances. Now, hundreds of people can come through the system
in a matter of minutes.
The world’s leading performing arts center uses Evolv Express at
different locations across its expansive campus, moving units
between buildings and performance spaces as needed. The space hosts
millions of people at hundreds of events annually. Guest feedback
has been overwhelmingly positive with some saying they weren’t even
aware they had gone through a security check due to the ease of the
system.
The upgrade in technology – from Evolv’s legacy weapons
detection system to Evolv Express – is the latest iteration of the
partnership between the two organizations. Evolv systems have been
used by LCPA for its security needs for years. The companies say
they work well together because they share certain values.
“As a former police officer, my top concern is the safety of our
patrons and staff. Evolv Express is one of the key components to
our multi-layered security approach,” said Danny Mulligan, director
of security at LCPA. “Our patrons see that we care about their
safety and appreciate that their experience hasn’t been
compromised. From a business perspective, investing in a proven
technology that keeps our guests happy and keeps them coming back
is a no-brainer.”
“Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts was our first customer,
and their trust in us is significant because the heightened level
of security required in New York City must be addressed with
especially sophisticated solutions,” said Anil Chitkara, Evolv’s
co-founder and chief growth officer. “They have set the standard
for what venue patrons should expect when it comes to safety and
security, and we’re grateful that their example and trust in us
early on has led to new customer relationships resulting in Evolv’s
expanded use throughout the city.”
“Other security professionals call us all the time asking about
Evolv and wanting to see what we’re doing because they know we
integrate it well into our overall security ecosystem,” said
Mulligan. “And I tell them the reason we use Evolv is because of
the partnership. We explored many options and Evolv is the best
solution on the market right now for what they do.”
