✨ Meet the newest addition to our school safety protocol. ✨
Evolv Technology creates security screening systems that offer a quick, seamless, and positive experience for students, teachers, faculty, and visitors.
How does it work? Unlike metal detectors, Evolv’s artificial intelligence tech allows people to simply walk through the systems without always stopping, emptying their pockets or bags, or waiting in line. Each system is monitored by a member of our staff and alerts the team if a potential weapon is detected.
This technology works to provide enhanced safety without compromising the welcoming culture we’ve developed at our school, allowing students to feel safer and get into the classroom faster.
Learn more about Evolv Technology at: https://www.alamogordoschools.org/page/evolv
