THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF STATEWIDE CORRECTIONS

State prisons process thousands of individuals daily—including new admissions, inmate transfers, facility staff, and public visitors. This high volume creates multiple attack vectors for contraband smuggling. Traditional security measures, such as pat-downs and standard metal detectors, are no longer sufficient to detect sophisticated smuggling methods, including internally concealed narcotics, non-metallic weapons, and micro-electronics.

A breach in perimeter security directly jeopardizes the safety of correctional officers and the inmate population. Tek84 bridges this security gap by delivering high-throughput, precision x-ray scanning that reveals hidden threats in seconds, without requiring physical contact.
