When it comes to gun violence, Americans are living in an era of unprecedented anxiety.

What if we had full confidence that our workplace, school, university, grocery store, place of worship, stadium, museum, convention center, theme park, performing arts venue, casino, hotel, hospital, or government office were gun-free?

Traditional security screening was not designed for today’s dynamic threats, so unlike metal detectors, manual bag checks, wanding, and other traditional solutions, Evolv Express® offers an innovative approach to physical security screening.

With Evolv Express®, the 2021 Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner for ‘Best Metal/Weapons Detection Solution‘ in the AST 2021 Homeland Security Awards Program, government, commercial, and public space security managers can offer confidence that the space they are responsible for protecting is just that, a safe and gun-free environment.

It eliminates the friction that visitors, fans, patrons, employees, and students typically experience moving through security by screening them in a touchless manner.

Evolv Express accelerates physical security screening while maintaining the highest degree of weapons detection accuracy.

Evolv Express helps reduce the security risk of crowded security lines, while also drastically reducing false alarm rates and human errors by security guards overwhelmed by large crowds of individuals, with an innovative touchless, hygienic, and rapid screening process powered by Evolv Cortex AI Software, which actually gets smarter over time.

Evolv Express™ is the world’s first and only touchless security screening solution that meets all of the post-pandemic security screening requirements. Express is up to 10X faster and far more accurate than metal detectors because it uses new sensor technology and artificial intelligence. Visitors walk right through at a natural pace while carrying their phones, bags, and other personal items. Courtesy of Evolv Technology and YouTube.)

The Evolv Express® system allows people to pass through screening at the pace of life, without breaking stride, which vastly improves security at the speed, scale, and flexibility required in today’s post-pandemic world.

To date, Evolv’s advanced security systems have been used to screen more than 50 million people, which is second only to the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration in screening people in the U.S.

Some of the world’s most iconic companies and venues place their trust in Evolv to protect their employees and visitors, including Uber, Lincoln Center, L.L. Bean, Six Flags, and hundreds of others.

The United States was forever changed 20 years ago on September 11th, and we were fortunate to have many of those who responded to those horrific tragedies join us at the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Luncheon.

In the days that followed 9/11, the critical needs of protecting our country catapulted us into new and innovative ways to secure our homeland – which is how many of the agencies and enterprise organizations that are today ‘ASTORS’ Awards Champions, came into being.

Our keynote speaker featured a moving and informative address from TSA Administrator and Vice-Admiral of the United States Coast Guard (Ret), David Pekoske; to our attendees who traveled from across the United States and abroad, on the strategic priorities of the 64,000 member TSA workforce in securing the transportation system, enabling safe, and in many cases, contactless travel.

Legendary Police Commissioner William Bratton of the New York Police Department, the Boston Police Department, and former Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department was also live at the event, meeting with attendees and signing copies of his latest work ‘The Profession: A Memoir of Community, Race, and the Arc of Policing in America,’ courtesy of the generosity of our 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Premier Sponsors.

The 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program was Proudly Sponsored by AMAROK, Fortior Solutions and SIMS Software, along with Returning Premier Sponsors ATI Systems, Attivo Networks, Automatic Systems, and Reed Exhibitions.
