Albuquerque, New Mexico-Area Rio Rancho Public Schools Demonstrates Commitment to Safety With Evolv Technology Implementation

Confident In an Efficient Initial Rollout, RRPS
has already invested in more than 20 units to be Dispersed Across
the District
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV) has partnered with Rio Rancho
Public Schools (RRPS) in New Mexico to bring an added layer of
security to the district beginning this school year. Students,
faculty and visitors at V. Sue Cleveland High School started
experiencing Evolv Express®, an AI-based weapons detection security
screening system, when the academic year commenced on August 3. The
district plans to add 20-plus Express systems to its schools over
the next few years.
According to school officials, safety is RRPS’ top priority, but
the district understands that it can’t come at the sake of
efficiency. Evolv Express® system’s ability to differentiate
commonly carried metal items like cell phones and keys from
potential weapons while helping people to pass through at their
normal pace was appealing, as was the positive response from other
schools’ using Express.
“We thoroughly vetted this technology, going as far as traveling
to schools that are comparable in size and design that already have
Express in place so we could see the system in use,” said Sal
Maniaci, Rio Rancho Public School’s executive director of safety
and security. “We’re impressed with the tech’s capabilities and are
pleased that it will be an important – yet non-intrusive - part of
the safety measures we have in place.”
Evolv is in more than 465 school buildings across 34 states,
including 11 of the country’s largest school districts. Express
screens hundreds of thousands of students daily.
“We’ve continued to see interest from schools in recent months,”
said Neil Sandhoff, Evolv’s vice president of education. “As gun
violence – and fear surrounding it – remains a concern for our
nation, many educators across the country have found Evolv’s
partnership to be a trusted tool that doesn’t distract from
learning.”
Evolv-commissioned Gun Violence in America: A Survey on
Americans’ Anxiety revealed that three out of four parents have a
child(ren) that have anxiety about school shootings, and 54 percent
report that their child(ren)’s anxiety has increased in the past
three years. The survey also found that three out of four Americans
feel safer at places that screen for and do not allow weapons
inside.
