“I was fortunate to have prior experience with Evolv and understood the differences between x-ray and metal detector technologies and Evolv’s AI-driven approach. Unlike those legacy screening systems, Evolv creates a frictionless, freeflowing ingress process.”

“We were in the security ingress area when the National Anthem played. Normally with manual screening, we would still have lines of fans trying to get into the park. But when I looked up after the National Anthem was finished, there were no lines. I knew then that we had …

“This dual focus is what sets Evolv apart from other solutions. We have days when multiple and concurrent shows take place. Previously, these days were a heavy lift for the team. But with Evolv, this is no longer the case. We’re no longer known as the ‘bad guys.’”

"9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombing certainly shape how we run quality athletic events. Yet, at the same time, we also are in a constant endeavor to improve our home experience. Our objective is for people to come and watch athletic events in person.”

“We open our gates 60 minutes before most matches and events. We might open 90 minutes ahead of a few special events. That said, the reality is the majority of fans and guests arrive in the last 15 minutes. We get maybe 15% to 25% of them in the first …

“We started off wanting to address customer service, but we ended up scratching that and went directly to being fan obsessed. When Evolv appeared on our radar, it fell right in line with what we were trying to do from the standpoint of creating a fan obsessed environment.”

“I was nervous not only about getting the machines stood up, but how we were going to get the security staff trained on them at the same time. But the whole process was flawless."

"For all three of our houses, we often see a push of almost 1,000 patrons during this 15-minute window. With the magnetometers and hand-held wands, this produced a lot of anxiety for security staff. But with the Express systems, no ingress queues form as patrons are able to walk through …

"Our layers of security all contribute to safe learning and athletic environments. For example, we require and check IDs for all students in addition to having them pass through the Express lane.”

“Our patients, family members, and staff need to feel secure because everyone who is entering has gone through the same processes to ensure that no one brings a weapon into one of our facilities that they could use to harm themselves, one of our coworkers, or another patient or family …

“The unfortunate prevalence of gun violence, coupled with the fact that more people carry firearms, puts our public at an increased risk of violence. Health care settings are not immune to such threats, and after an incident where a weapon was brought into an Emergency Department, we decided we needed …

“The lack of security created an environment subconsciously for patients and their families—whether it was in the exam room or waiting room upon their arrival.”

“Individuals who enter our facility have a high priority, especially those in the Emergency Department. It is my responsibility to make sure questions of safety are answered. We have individuals who are able to step in appropriately and intervene in situations where we need to de-escalate patients, family members, and …

“Over the past four or five years, due to the increase in violence in healthcare, we have received a lot of feedback from our doctors and nurses on the need for tighter security screening. In particular, based on the annual Culture Survey that we conduct with our staff, weapons screening …

"The walk-through metal detectors gave everyone the feeling that they were walking into prison. That is the last thing we wanted to convey.”
