MAPLE GROVE, Minn., February 12, 2020 —GUARDIAN RFID, the global leader in inmate management and tracking systems, today announced that the Los Angeles Police Department in Los Angeles, California —has gone live GUARDIAN RFID for its county jail to manage, monitor, and track its inmate population.
The Los Angeles Police Department has an average daily population of over 200 inmates. Prior to GUARDIAN RFID, LAPD conducted all of their security rounds on paper logs and in their JMS, NICHE. This manually-conducted way of tracking information led to an in-custody death which further led to an investigation that found falsified logging. After these unfortunate incidents, LAPD realized the need for a platform that unifies the execution of their inmate management objectives, using RFID, the Cloud, and mobile to automate actionable security-critical workflows.
Now that the Los Angeles Police Department deployed GUARDIAN RFID technology, they are utilizing the SPARTAN, an ultra-rugged Android device from GUARDIAN RFID, which runs Mobile Command software, along with RFID Wristbands and hardened RFID tags to capture a wide range of inmate activities, behavioral observations, inmate movements, programs attendance, and court transports. Mobile Command will also enable staff to capture image and video assets during cell checks uploaded to OnDemand, the GUARDIAN RFID Cloud. OnDemand will allow staff to gain real-time situational awareness and monitor security rounds with positive ID headcount performance.
