Staff members are using SPARTAN, the ultra-rugged Android from GUARDIAN RFID running Mobile Command software, including hardened RFID tags strategically deployed throughout the facility to automate a wide range of data collection and reporting, including security checks and cell checks, headcounts, meal and recreation offerings, and a wide-range of other inmate activity logging at the point of responsibility.

Crawford Co. Jail inmates are now outfitted with RFID Wristbands for inmate tracking, which includes programs attendance, court transports, and medical visits.

Mobile Command software enables corrections professionals to collect a wide range of data for compliance and evidence gathering, from cell checks to disciplinary reports, as well as images, which are securely synced to the GUARDIAN RFID Cloud from anytime, anywhere reporting.

The GUARDIAN RFID Cloud, OnDemand, will also help Crawford Co. gain real-time situational awareness, monitor security round performance, and access activity streams and reporting tools from anywhere, while working with their JMS.
