Rural Nebraska Winnebago Public Schools Improves School Security Without Negatively Impacting Student Experience 

“We saw an uptick in school violence and what was happening in the media,” Adam James, Safety Director at Winnebago Public Schools relays. “We had not experienced a problem with weapons. We had some small incidents but nothing that posed a threat. However, we wanted to get out in front of potential threats. We had implemented a video surveillance system 3 years ago, and it has been a big success. But we felt that we needed something beyond video at our entrances.” Then they found Evolv Express through one of our partners, ICU Technologies.

“In addition to the wait to get into the stadium, a significant number of false alarms forced many fans to go through secondary security checkswhere they would need to divest their personal effects,” says Mike Loynd, the VP of Strategic Initiatives at Kraft Sports & Entertainment. “It was an uncomfortable process and created a lot of friction.” Then they heard about Evolv Technology - "“Evolv met all our ‘must-have’ requirements related to operations, efficiency, and security.”
