Value of Evolv Express® for effective weapons
detection, artificial intelligence and insights results in growing
demand from school districts throughout the country
With the academic school year now in full swing, another
district has turned to Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV) to help
create a safer learning environment for its community. As the
leader in AI-based weapons detection security screening, Evolv
Technology’s sensor-based kiosks and artificial intelligence (AI)
solutions now proactively identify guns and weapons in Spartanburg
School District Five in a frictionless manner without creating an
uncomfortable environment for students and staff.
By applying patented technology and completely redefining the
safety screening process, students walk through the Evolv
Technology kiosks without always having their bags removed or
searched and can start their day without the sense of unease that
traditional metal detectors can create. The Evolv Express
technology is focused on identifying weapons so that staff will
only stop to check items that may pose a potential threat.
“School safety will always be a top priority yet, more recently,
the stakes are even higher as gun violence continues to rise,” said
Ryan Cothran, director of safety and emergency services,
Spartanburg District Five Schools. “We employ a variety of safety
protocols to foster a safe and enjoyable learning environment and
now with Evolv Technology, we have greater assurance that our
students are able to thrive knowing the right systems are in
place.”
Earlier this year, Spartanburg, South Carolina County School
District Six was exploring a new safety system. They required it
support constant foot traffic for more than 12,000 students and
staff across three main campuses and a nearby Technology Center.
Evolv Technology enabled District Six to achieve its increased
security goals which led to its expansion into District Five to
support an additional 10,000 students.
“We have seen a strong demand for Evolv Express from school
districts throughout the country,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv
Technology. “In every conversation, the schools require the
technology be able to accurately identify weapons and reinforce the
school’s zero tolerance policy for guns while not making students
feel uncomfortable. We designed Evolv Express with this in mind and
continue to improve the system knowing it’s being installed in
environments that are critical to the education and well-being of
the next generation.”
