“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 …

“Patrons have a choice and if they perceive that the hassle and intrusiveness of the security process is too great, they may choose not to attend a performance.”

"Evolv is where safety meets experience. You don’t need to compromise one for the other. Evolv enables us to create a special dynamic that facilitates both.”

"Leading-edge technology is at the core of what we’re doing here. We’re at the forefront of digital transformation at Hollywood Park, seeking to deliver unrivaled experiences to guests. This includes ingress at our various entrances.”

"Working with Evolv has been great—everything from how the Express system works, to educating us on Cortex AI®, to getting our team scheduled for online training, to resolving tech support issues the few times they have arisen.”

“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.

“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.

“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 …

“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.”
