Nebraska K-12 school enables student safety
without harming student experience
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons
detection security screening, today announced the successful work
it has done in partnership with Nebraska’s Winnebago Public
Schools. Winnebago uses Evolv’s state-of-the-art Evolv Express®
system to help create safer spaces for its elementary through high
school students.
Winnebago Public Schools in Winnebago, Nebraska, educates
roughly 600 students in kindergarten through Grade 12, all in the
same building. Installed just prior to the start of the 2022-2023
academic year, in its first month in use at the school’s two
entrances, Evolv Express screened more than 17,000 students,
educators and visitors.
Evolv Express uses powerful sensor technology with artificial
intelligence (AI) to provide safer, more accurate threat detection
at unprecedented volume and speed. Students can walk through
without always having to stop to remove personal items like
cellphones or keys and begin their day engaging positively with
school staff. School officials have also found success using Evolv
Insights®, an analytics dashboard which allows them to continually
improve their security posture for the school day as well as
special events by providing the ability to easily access and
visualize system performance, student flow, and location-specific
performance.
“Being able to see student flows down to five-minute intervals,
detection performance at both entrances, when alerts occurred, and
detailed unit information provides us with valuable and actionable
information,” said Adam James, safety and events director for
Winnebago Public Schools. “Ultimately, Evolv Express was the only
technology that met our requirement to improve security without
negatively impacting student experience.”
While the school has never had a major issue with weapons being
brought in, Evolv Express has detected vapes and other prohibited
paraphernalia, which administrators believe has deterred students
from attempting to bring banned items to the school. According to
school officials, the Winnebago community has responded positively
to Evolv, with students saying they feel safer, and parents
appreciative that the school is being proactive in elevating
security.
“We are very pleased to hear about the success of Evolv in a
community like Winnebago,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv
Technology. “Empowering teachers, principals and school staff to
help increase safety in the buildings and reduce anxiety so that
the focus can remain on learning is at the center of our mission in
the education space.”
Winnebago joins a growing list of schools across the country
using Evolv Express to help keep students, teachers and staff safer
so the focus can remain on education. Read related press releases
