MAPLE GROVE, Minn., May 31, 2022 —GUARDIAN RFID, the global leader in inmate management and tracking systems, today announced that Ford County Sheriff’s Office, Kansas—has selected GUARDIAN RFID to help manage, monitor, and track its inmate population. 

Over the years, Ford Co. has used Guard 1, an iButton-based guard tour solution known as the PIPE, along with their jail management system, Spillman, to manage security rounds, inmate movements, and daily activity logging. Staff have noticed the lack of internal staff collaboration and operational awareness and realized it was time to digitally transform their facility. 

After searching for a solution with better functionality and accuracy, Ford Co. selected GUARDIAN RFID to transition the facility’s digital imperative. Ford Co. correctional staff will be able to utilize a platform that unifies the execution of their inmate management objectives, using RFID, the Cloud, and mobile to automate actionable security-critical workflows. 

Ford Co. will deploy GUARDIAN RFID’s  SPARTAN, an ultra-rugged Android device, along with hardened RFID tags to capture a wide range of inmate activities, behavioral observations, inmate movements, program 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 positive ID headcount performance.
