Pennsylvania Security Leaders Turn to Evolv as Safety Partner

Evolv now screens over 100,000 visitors daily
across PA schools, stadiums and hospitals
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons
detection security screening, is partnering with venues in nearly
every state across the U.S. and has seen a steady increase in
Pennsylvania venues turning to Evolv’s state-of-the-art Express®
system as an important layer in a safety plan.
With Pennsylvania having the 33rd-highest rate of gun deaths in
the U.S., Evolv has noted a 10x increase in the number of visitors
screened at Pennsylvania venues since 2022 from stadiums to
schools.
“While protecting our guests and ensuring their safety remains
our number one priority, we also wanted something that would meet
and exceed their expectations,” said Kevin C. Wilkes, Chief
Security Officer, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. “We believe Evolv
gives us the scale to address our requirements into the
future.”
“We were very thorough in our investigation and assessed
multiple options,” said Salvadore DeAngelis, Vice President of
Operations and Security for the Philadelphia Phillies. “Evolv
checked all our boxes, but we wanted to ensure that we were making
the right decision and conducted pilot testing of Evolv in 2022. It
passed with flying colors, and we concluded that we wanted to go
live with Evolv on opening day for the 2023 season.”
In addition to the Phillies and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust,
venues across the state, including the Pittsburgh Symphony
Orchestra, Hershey Park, Temple Health and Citizens Bank Park, and
as well as other professional sports teams, arenas, schools,
entertainment venues and hospitals that call Philadelphia home have
leveraged Evolv’s screening solution to bring an added layer of
safety that helps create a positive and efficient security
experience for people. In just one week in October, Evolv Express
systems screened 125,000 people across three professional sporting
venues in South Philadelphia.
“Sacrificing safety for experience doesn’t have to be a choice
anymore,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv Technology. “We work very
hard to innovate, to listen to our customers, and to bring better
solutions to those professionals charged with keeping people safe.
Gun violence remains a terrifying epidemic in this country, and we
are committed to our mission of helping to make the world
safer.”
Evolv’s technology is used by more than 600 customers worldwide,
including over 40 major league sports teams, as well as schools,
hospitals, iconic venues, arenas, and leading theme parks. Evolv
Express has screened more than 1 billion people.
