"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.”
“We wanted the ingress experience for fans to be efficient and for them to have a great time. They should come to a game and not worry about the ingress process at all. We want them to enjoy everything; it’s not simply the ballgame but the entire experience.”
“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.”
“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 has been a recurring, highly important theme for the past several years. Our doctors, nurses, and staff see what is happening with active shooter incidents, and they want us to ensure those don’t occur in one of our Virtua Health facilities. To address these issues, we needed a solution that would screen everyone coming through the doors to our hospitals.”
“When we opened the doors, patrons started streaming through the Express lanes and proceeding to ticketing. The lines faded away. Within 15 minutes, there was a positive vibe across the entire staff in the building.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
"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."
“Safety is our number one priority from the start each day until we get our students home safely at night. We want our faculty and students to focus on quality teaching and learning.”
“We adhere to the Illinois protocol that bans handguns in public buildings. But we never found any since we never checked anyone. Other theaters in the Chicago area had implemented Evolv Express systems and our executive management team had visited those sites and seen the Express in action. Our General Manager had also seen the Express system at a local sports stadium and was impressed with the seamless approach to security screening.”
