The Department of Investigation is probing Mayor Adams’ administration over weapons scanners.

The investigation is scrutinizing how the administration vetted Evolv before allowing it to install its technology at various locations, a source says.

The mayor started touting the weapon detectors in 2022 , shortly after taking office.

It comes amid a set of federal corruption investigations into the Adams administration.

Feds are looking at whether the younger Banks steered city business to his clients via his brothers, according to sources.

Banks’ youngest brother, Terence Banks , a government relations consultant, was also raided by the feds last month in connection with the federal probes.

Neither Banks nor Evolv has been accused of any wrongdoing, and neither has been without its own legal troubles.
