Summary: Dr. Tracey Whaley, Chief of Police, Division of Police & Public Safety
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb Board of Education approve the continued utilization of Alliance Technologies (Evolv Systems) for the 2026-2027 school year to support emergency communication and campus safety initiatives across DeKalb County Schools for an amount not to exceed $1,586,832.55 is year 4 of 5 4 annual renewal options.
Why: Maintaining the Evolv system ensures uninterrupted emergency communication capabilities and builds on the current familiarity among staff. Transitioning to a new platform would require additional training, extra costs, and risk potential service disruption. Alliance Technologies remains a trusted, effective solution aligned with the district's commitment to safety and emergency preparedness.
Details: DCSD will continue using Evolv weapons-detection to provide fast, noninvasive screening at main entrances during arrival and at events, managed by Public Safety with school administration and supported by Alliance Technologies. Continuing service boosts safety, speeds arrival, standardizes practice throughout the District.
