Creating a safer and more welcoming learning environment
The rising threat of gun violence in schools creates anxiety that keeps both students and staff from doing their best work. Establishing a safe and welcoming school atmosphere can improve students' performance while attracting and retaining exceptional staff. Traditional metal detector weapons screening amplifies security anxiety by creating friction and generating frequent false alarms, leading to inconvenient delays and the risk of embarrassing and possibly biased secondary searches. Evolv Express® presents a more effective and dignified solution, fostering a safer, more inclusive environment that bolsters academic achievement and staff retention.
Express Capabilities
Trusted by hundreds of schools nationwide, Evolv Express uses artificial intelligence to put the focus on weapons, not individual people or harmless items. By significantly reducing false alarms, it helps streamline the school arrival experience and alleviate stress for students and staff. The system’s unique image-aided alarms help reduce opportunities for bias by shortening and focusing on secondary searches. Express helps schools take action against gun violence while preserving the safe and welcoming learning environment that students and staff deserve.

Layered Security Approach
Evolv Express is most effective as an integrated component of a layered security strategy that spans prevention, mitigation, response, and communications. Beyond its fundamental deterrent and detection capabilities, Evolv Express integrates with other security technologies and processes to provide timely information, accelerate response times, and provide data that supports continuous improvement. Evolv goes beyond technology by offering ongoing guidance, training, and support to help schools find the blend of people, processes, and technology that best supports their layered security strategy.
Transparency
Evolv is committed to the principle of responsible disclosure of sensitive information. Evolv discloses sensitive information only to trusted security professionals and partners who share our commitment to help make schools safer. This includes important disclosures regarding the capabilities and limitations of our technology and all other appropriate information that is relevant to each school's Threat Vulnerability & Risk Assessments (TVRA) & Risk Assessments (TVRA).
