"Evolv empowers us to focus on both our fans’ experience and their security. With the help of Evolv, we’re constantly learning and improving how to give our fans a great ingress experience while keeping them as safe and secure as possible.”
“Having Evolv systems in place makes our patients feel safe, and our staff feels safe and able to deliver the care our patients need rather than worrying about their safety. We are very proud to be the first hospital Emergency Department in Canada to implement Evolv.”
"We’ve had individuals who have brought weapons into our Emergency Department lobbies and our campuses. This is one of the primary reasons why our administration elected to search for a different security screening approach, seeking a way to stop and deter anyone from bringing weapons into our campus.”
“When we evaluated different options, we kept coming back to the fact that Evolv is used at some of the largest sports stadiums and most prestigious performing arts centers in the country. If it keeps their environments safe and scales to handle the volumes of guests they experience, then it is good enough for us.”
"I’ve been waiting years for someone to invent a technology where you can just freely walk through the concealed weapons detector without needing to empty out your pockets and take everything out of your bags as part of the screening process.”
"Of the 900,000 people who work at 450 airports nationwide, ‘many are able to bypass traditional screening requirements that travelers visiting the airports must endure.’ The report goes on to say that ‘there are increasing concerns that insider threats to aviation security are on the rise.’ Threats posed by disgruntled employees are perhaps the most difficult to detect due to knowledge on how to exploit security weaknesses."
“There was genuine excitement from staff and students reached out to show their gratitude for the decision."
"Our teachers and staff were very happy when we put Evolv in our schools. They know we’re now checking everyone who enters a school, and they feel our campuses are much safer. This enables our teachers to focus on teaching rather than worrying about potential threats coming onto the campuses.”
“That assessment pointed us to the need for a solution that would screen people upon ingress without impeding their entry."
"Since deploying Evolv, the number of metal objects that we’ve detected run into the tens of thousands. We were almost in shock at the number of weapons we found. It was the equivalent of having a Damocles sword hanging over our heads but most of us were unaware of how large the threat was.”
“Workplace violence has become a growing concern over the past decade. During and after the pandemic, we saw a heightening of people’s emotions. Isolation during the pandemic negatively impacted people’s behavior and conduct. Unfortunately, this translated into a rise in violence towards hospital staff.”
“The entire deployment process was outstanding. It was amazing to see the equipment arrive on site and then go through the training process with the Evolv and Convergint teams.”
“Evolv plays a huge role in helping us to feel more comfortable and confident at work, knowing there is a reduced chance we will be injured by someone brandishing a weapon. It is absolutely wonderful that we finally have security screening for weapons in our Emergency Departments.”
“When some of our patients or visitors to come our Emergency Departments, they may be having the worst day of their life. People’s emotions run high. People do stupid things. Evolv helps us prevent bad things from happening.”
“I feel very honored to be part of a hospital that is taking extra steps to protect is staff and patients. In the past, we didn’t know what we would encounter when coming to work. Evolv makes it much easier for us to do so. It helps lift that uncertainty. I absolutely feel safer knowing that every single person that I come in contact with has been screened.”
