MAPLE GROVE, Minn., December 20, 2022 —Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office, South Dakota, has made plans to partner with GUARDIAN RFID to roll out its inmate management system that automatically captures a wide range of inmate activities, behavioral observations, inmate movements, court transports, and positive ID headcounts.
Prior to discovering GUARDIAN RFID, Minnehaha Co. staff used an iButton-based guard tour solution, known as the PIPE, to manage security rounds, inmate movements, and daily activity logging. This time-consuming, exhaustive approach to logging information lacked internal staff collaboration and operational awareness. After failing to maintain proper documentation which resulted in increased liability, Minnehaha Co. 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.
Minnehaha Co. staff will be using 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, program attendance, and court transports. This technology will 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.
