MAPLE GROVE, Minn., July 1, 2022 — GUARDIAN RFID, a global leader in inmate management and tracking systems, announces the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (Oakland, California) has selected GUARDIAN RFID to help manage, monitor, and track its inmate population.

Reaching an average daily population of 4,000 inmates, Alameda Co. looks forward to digitally transforming its inmate management objectives with the Command & Control platform to automate its inmate tracking, and security rounds including face-to-face cell checks, and other activity logging in real-time to streamline compliance.

Prior to selecting GUARDIAN RFID, Alameda Co. used paper logs and their jail management system, ATIMS, to manage security rounds, inmate movements, and daily activity logging. This time-consuming approach to logging information lacked internal staff collaboration and operational awareness. Alameda Co. staff realized the need for a platform that unifies the execution of their inmate management objectives and state audit preparation using RFID, the Cloud, and mobile to automate actionable, security-critical workflows. 

Needing a bulletproof solution for rounds tracking and inmate interactions, Alameda Co. staff will use Mobile Command running on SPARTAN, an ultra-rugged Android from GUARDIAN RFID, along with 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 as well as a signature for critical supplies, which is then uploaded to OnDemand, the GUARDIAN RFID Cloud. OnDemand will allow staff to gain real-time situational awareness. With just a few clicks of a button, staff will have the technology for facility-wide inmate identification, tracking, and management capabilities to strategically automate a wide range of data collection and reporting logged at the point of responsibility.
