Evolv Partner ICU Technologies Helped District
Tap State Resource to Fund AI Weapons Detection
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons
detection security screening, announced it is now used in nine
schools in California’s Madera Unified School District. The
district, northwest of Fresno, purchased Evolv’s state-of-the-art
Evolv Express® screening solution through integration partner ICU
Technologies, a leader in K-12 security buying.
Madera Unified School District began the 2023-2024 school year
with 17 total Express systems across its high, middle, and
continuation schools. It has systems at the main entrances to each
school, and plans to use Express to screen select sporting event
attendees as well. The district was pleased with the system’s
performance following a trial of the tech at the end of the last
academic year, which led to the purchase.
“We’re proud of our status as a leader in student safety in
California,” said Lawrence Fernandez, safety and security director
for Madera Unified School District. “Evolv is helping us set the
standard for student and staff safety, and between Evolv and ICU
Technologies, the deployment couldn’t have gone more smoothly.”
To acquire security technology for their schools, districts
often must endure a lengthy and time-consuming RFP process. Due to
unique federal and state-held contracts, ICU Technologies provided
the district with a time and money-saving alternative. Leveraging a
California fund requiring that monies be used to provide a safer
learning environment helped Madera to promptly achieve a safer
posture.
“Schools can’t afford to waste time when it comes to securing
their buildings for the safety of students, faculty and visitors,
and many school leaders are unaware that the resources we leveraged
on Madera’s behalf are available,” said Jason Eatmon, chief
experience officer with ICU Technologies. “Our purchasing contracts
and understanding of funding sources help for an expedited and more
streamlined purchasing and installation process. Working with Evolv
helped us to add Madera to a rapidly growing list of schools that
have incorporated Express as a key component of their
security.”
Evolv Express is part of the security solution in more than 650
school buildings across the nation. While many of Evolv’s education
customers are concentrated in the Midwest and Eastern parts of the
U.S., Madera is one of a handful of schools in the Western part of
the country to announce its use of the system in recent weeks. New
Mexico’s Rio Rancho Public Schools disclosed earlier this month
that it purchased more than 20 Express systems.
“Safety has always been paramount for Madera Unified School
District, and they’ve efficiently incorporated Evolv into the
fold,” said Neil Sandhoff, Evolv’s vice president of education.
“Thanks to ICU Technologies, the district realized that Express was
a viable option. We’re thrilled to have the district on our roster
and hope other schools follow Madera’s lead in taking advantage of
similar available resources to enhance safety and the overall
learning environment.”
Evolv is used in over a dozen of the top 100 school districts in
the country. Evolv Express screens roughly 250,000 students each
day, and overall it has detected more than 355,000 weapons since
2022, including more than 179,000 in the first six months of 2023
alone.
