MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire — GUARDIAN RFID, the global leader in inmate management and tracking systems, today announce Chatham Co. Detention Center has chosen GUARDIAN RFID for its 120-bed detention center.
Located 40 miles west of Raleigh, Chatham Co. Detention Center is digitally transforming its inmate management objectives with the Command & Control platform from GUARDIAN RFID, automating its inmate tracking, security rounds, including face-to-face cell checks on high-risk and administrative segregation offenders, and other activity logging in real-time.
Chatham Co. Jail relies heavily on manual and paper-based systems. This includes everything from paper logging inmate movements and headcounts, to cell checks on high-risk offenders, which results in miscommunication and time-consuming report generation. Other inmate activity logging may be entered into their jail management system from Southern Software.
Inmates were also wearing wristbands for visual identification only. Chatham Co. Jail is deploying RFID Wristbands to digitize every inmate interaction.
Deploying the Weapon of Mass Data Collection
Chatham Co. team members are deploying SPARTAN, the ultra-rugged Android from GUARDIAN RFID, running Mobile Command software. The jail is also deploying hardened RFID tags strategically located throughout their 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.
Command & Control
According to Lt. Eric Lindley, the Chatham Co. Detention Center needed to address the challenge of having "eyes off inmates" too often, while addressing the shortcomings of how the jail is logging inmate movements. Security rounds, medication administration records, positive ID headcounts, and programs attendance are key objectives of Chatham Co. Jail staff in their digital transformation to create a safer, more secure, and more aware facility.
The GUARDIAN RFID Cloud, OnDemand, will also help Chatham Co. Detention Center gain real-time situational awareness, monitor security round performance, and access activity streams and reporting tools from anywhere while working with its jail management system from Southern Software.
