Spartanburg, South Carolina School District 6 Enhances School Safety With Free-flow Weapons Detection Powered by Evolv Express®

Spartanburg County School District 6 in Spartanburg, SC faced the challenge of detecting weapons without creating lengthy security queues that would delay students getting to class. The district partnered with Evolv and deployed Evolv Express® systems—8 dual-lane and 6 single-lane units—along with Evolv Cortex AI™ and Evolv Insights™ to allow adjustable sensitivity, streamline bagchecks, and enable teachers and staff to support screening.

Evolv implemented a free‑flow weapons detection solution managed by security guards at each ingress and supplemented during 30-minute arrivals by teachers and administrators. The vendor completed onboarding and rollout in one week, delivered average bagchecks in under 20 seconds, supported secondary screening of about 20% of incoming students, and provided a seamless detection layer that kept students safe while getting them to class on time.
