$EVLV Bullish (National Security)As politicians use fragile child lives as a trojan horse for their orwellian gun laws- the answer to the problem still remains clear- metal detectors. How many more children will get fish in a barreled'd until some safety measures are put into place. Not LA, not Chicago, they already have proper safety measures- this needs to be a nationwide child safety movement with government sponsorship. There is nothing more important than our youth, especially Ukraine when it comes to the B word (billions).
If anyones aware of any other stocks like this let me know. I think the whole AI thing is a waste of time and also a trojan horse but nonetheless.
America first.

Evolv is committed to creating weapons-free zones across the world. The Evolv Express® system, which uses a powerful combination of artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, and comprehensive analytics, screens nearly 750 thousand people each day– and as many as 1.25 million a day on weekends. Since January 2022, Evolv has detected and stopped over 30 thousand guns and 27 thousand knives, excluding law enforcement, from entering its customers’ venues, including schools, performing arts centers, casinos, stadiums, arenas, hospitals and other workplaces. These numbers represent approximately a third of customers who are currently tagging the threats by utilizing Evolv’s analytics platform, called Evolv Insights.
Partnering with customers, Evolv Express® systems have stopped potential mass casualties in areas that are intended to be weapons-free. In the past few months alone, two incidents have taken place where the Evolv Express® systems prevented a loaded gun from entering a hospital and a school where, in each case, it was believed there was intent to do harm and law enforcement was engaged.
In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has added nearly 100 new customers, including Gillette Stadium, Hard Rock International, AO Arena, Distrito T-Mobile, Dollywood Theme Park and Champaign Unit 4 School District. Further, Evolv has now screened over 350 million people, second only to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Evolv has deployed over 1,100 of its Express systems in iconic venues throughout North America and the United Kingdom as well as in schools, hospitals, and public spaces, securing its position as the leading provider of AI-based concealed weapons screening technology in use today.
“At Evolv, we believe that safety is a basic human right,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv Technology. “Over 350 million people is an important step in our quest to keep people safe where they gather, as is stopping over 50 thousand weapons from entering the places where they work, learn, play and live. We partner with our customers to create weapons-free zones and, we believe, provide peace of mind to visitors and staff as well as to the community at large. If we can prevent or deter one potential loss of life, we are doing our job.”
The Company achieved year over year growth in the following measures during the six months ended June 30, 2022:
152% year-over-year increase in new customers
366% year-over-year increase in total people screened
193% year-over-year increase in Evolv Express units deployed

Duval County Public Schools said this was necessary because it adds an extra layer of security to your child’s classroom.
The metal detectors made by Evolv’s Technology Express will be in all 19 DCPS high schools, costing the district $8.7 million dollars. It’ll be paid for with capitol money.
DCPS Chairman Darryl Willie explains why the county is focusing on high schools.
“A lot of the time when we do find weapons on campus, it’s generally in our high schools,” Willie said.

As far as Duval’s elementary and middle schools DCPS Police Chief Greg Burton said officers will continue to do security checks with wands.
In addition to the metal detectors there will be cameras, extra lighting, fences and badges required to enter and exit the building.
DCPS thinks these metal detectors are good for a number of reasons. One being that students won’t have to empty their pockets or bags while being screened. Instead, these metal detectors can actually show where exactly a weapon might be located on a body.
