Evolv CEO Fired Amid Subway Scanner Failures and Misconduct Probes

The dismissal follows revelations of misconduct and ineffective gun detection technology in New York City's subway system.

Evolv's CEO, Peter George, was terminated after employees were found to have engaged in misconduct during business deals.
The company's gun detection scanners, deployed in NYC subways, failed to detect any firearms and produced over 100 false positives.
Investigations by the Department of Investigation, SEC, and FTC are ongoing regarding Evolv's operations and claims about its technology.
The scanners, criticized for privacy invasions, were part of a pilot program that Mayor Eric Adams supported despite concerns about their effectiveness.
Michael Ellenbogen, a co-founder of Evolv, has been appointed as interim CEO as the company attempts to recover from the fallout.
