Niagara Falls City School District Prioritizes Learning Through Up Leveling Security for More Than 6,000 Students, Faculty and Staff with Evolv Technology<\/b><\/p>\n

The district added Evolv Express\u00ae<\/sup> AI weapons detection systems to its schools through a partnership with STANLEY Security<\/i><\/p>\n

WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Evolv Technology<\/a> (NASDAQ: EVLV, \u201cEvolv\u201d), the global leader in AI-based weapons detection security screening, today announced impressive initial results from its partnership with Niagara Falls City School District in Niagara, New York, including faster, less invasive entry into its schools and a smoother, more welcoming experience for over 6,000 students in the district.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe decision to implement Evolv Technology\u2019s systems was expedited by school officials\u2019 observations about escalating violence when students returned to in-person learning following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The district determined that legacy security methods, including bag inspections and wanding, were cumbersome and inadequate. The system worked with STANLEY Security<\/a> to install Evolv Express\u00ae<\/sup><\/i><\/a> systems at 11 of the district\u2019s schools and has said they see an immediate improvement in ingress, detection and overall experience.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cConducting manual security checks was taking up to an hour of time each morning, and it wasn\u2019t a particularly pleasant experience for our students or faculty,\u201d said Mark Laurrie, Niagara Falls City School District Superintendent. \u201cEvolv is the best that is out there for schools. With these systems in place, we\u2019re confident that we\u2019re fostering the highest quality learning environment and safety of our students and employees while investing in technology that continues to get better.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nFindings from a recent American Psychological Association survey<\/a> published include that a third of teachers experienced at least one incident of verbal or threatening violence from students during the pandemic, and 40% of school administrators were on the receiving end of verbal or threatening violence from parents. Niagara Falls City School District is one of a growing list of school systems across the U.S. to take a proactive and modern approach to safety and security. Evolv Express is currently used in schools in 20 states, including Georgia<\/a>, Illinois<\/a>, South Carolina<\/a> and West Virginia<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re committed to making all venues where people gather safer, but school safety is our top priority and one of the reasons the company was founded,\u201d said Peter George, CEO of Evolv Technology. \u201cWe\u2019re proud that through our partnership with STANLEY Security, we\u2019re improving the learning environment in Niagara\u2019s schools and helping to bring greater peace of mind to the community. Teachers should be able to focus on teaching, and students on learning.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
