a. Evolv eXpedite Hardware Installation with Alliance Technology Group (Not to exceed $2,999,559) ~ Updated 6.9.2025
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Elijah Palmer, Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Division
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the purchase of Evolv eXpedite Hardware and installation, including accessories for all high schools, District Offices, and Stadiums for an amount of $2,999,559.
Why: The safety of students and staff in the DeKalb County School District is extremely important. DeKalb County School District has seen an increase in the number of weapons confiscated on district property. It has been proved, since the implementation of the Evolv Weapon Detection System in 2023-2024, that a significant decrease in the number of weapons confiscated in school buildings. In the 2022-2023 school year there were a total of 117 weapons (24 handguns) confiscated. In the 2023-2024 school year there were a total of 66 weapons (4 handguns) confiscated.
Details: Advance Detection: The Evolv eXpedite utilizes 119kV X-Ray technology and AI for the detection of firearm components, explosives, and other metallic and non-metallic threats with a tunnel size of 50 cm wide x 40 cm tall for efficient screening.
Automation: Designed to autonomously scan bags using AI and high-speed technology. If a threat is detected, the green lights on the system turn red and the conveyor automatically stops.
High Throughput: Belt speed enables rapid screening, helping to reduce wait times and supporting free-flow entry in high-traffic venues.
Layered Security: By eliminating high-clutter bags moving through Evolv Express, the layered systems aim to operate at a higher security level, with the goal of keeping false alarm rates low. The technology allows individuals to enter school buildings without stopping, emptying pockets or bags or waiting in lines. Stations include technological devices that will be monitored by school safety personnel. The devices will identify specifically where the items in question are located to allow for quick intervention.
Financial impact: This purchase will be allocated under the Public Safety and Community Violence Reduction Grant in an amount not to exceed $2,999,559. Public Safety and Community Violence Reduction Grant
